Visit to Buckingham Palace

As many readers will know, I was honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours 2008. Around this time two years ago, my husband and I, along with or daughter Joanne and her husband, were at Buckingham Palace. We had the most memorable day (although I think my family remember a lot more of it than I do, as I was so nervous!) H M Queen Elizabeth was ‘on duty’ that day, much to my delight and she had a chat with each and every recipient. A truly remarkable lady.
