Attending the Buckingham Palace Garden Party was a great experience.  Having been let down with an invite from the Territorial Army nine years ago, I was grateful of the opportunity to finally attend, albeit without female company! Just walking through the gate into the courtyard was special, everyone was just staring at the architecture. As we walked through to the garden, I was transported back to 1958 and the CLB Royal Review. Many times I had looked at the pictures of that one off event, but never thought I would be standing in the same spot wearing Brigade uniform. Definitely a day to tell my great nieces and nephews about!
