Had An Amazing Time

[Redhelen72]

At the Jubilee thanksgiving service.
The atmosphere was amazing and the anticipation of which royal’s were going to turn up could be felt in the air.
The reception afterwards was the icing on the cake where we were introduced to several Royals.
If that wasn’t enough excitement for a lifetime we found out last week that Mr Red will receive his MBE in 3 weeks at the palace.
Another new frock needed.

How fantastic Helen, lovely moments to treasure :)

Thanks Vagus, it is up there with my most treasured memories and will keep the programs and frame them with some photos for us and his mother

Exciting times!

[Neveracrossword]

That sounds an amazing day, RH - a never to be forgotten experience!

Wow, that's amazing, Helen, congratulations to Mr. Red :o)

[roopower]

What wonderful memories. Congratulations to Mr Red.

Did you wear a hat? Will you need another to go with the new frock?? Bet you looked and felt a million dollars. Is Mr Red nervous about his upcoming MBE ceremony?

[Redhelen72]

I did wear a hat which I thought was quite over the top but wasn’t given some of the other creations!
I went black and ivory this time but given Mr Reds suit is navy I am going with navy next time to match him. So 4 new dresses ordered.

He is surprisingly laid back at the moment but I am sure that will change closer to it.

Just as a matter of nosey interest, how did you get an invite? :-)

[Redhelen72]

Because of his MBE and being a key worker

[TantP]

Wow that's fantastic. Congratulations on his MBE.

[sandyRoe]

A great memory for you both.
No problems with the flights, I hope?

[SparklyKid]

Wow. It seems almost anyone gets an MBE these days.

[TantP]

SparklyKid How rude ! Have you got one then ? No, thought not.

[Vagus]

‘Awarded for outstanding achievements or service to the community. This will have had a long term significant impact and stand out as an example to others’
Not many can have that said about them and receive an MBE can they?

[SparklyKid]

Quite bizarre when Helen Worth alias Gail Platt from corrie gets an MBE.

[Redhelen72]

TandP ignore it and it may slither away

Couple of questions, Helen. Did you get to speak with Liz? And, if so, did she mention me? She usually does, you know. Real name-dropper, our Liz:-)
So glad you enjoyed your day hob-nobbing with the posh folk:-)

[Redhelen72]

Unfortunately she wasn’t there but Charlie passes on his regards
