The family are staying in London. They have come to watch the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
They are watching the soldiers match past when grandfather
calls out to Thomas, “Grandmother is missing?”
Grandmother saw one of the Queen’s corgis run into the group
of marching guards so she went and caught it. A Royal Guard thanked her and
told her to go in Buckingham Palace. He gave her a note to show the guard when she arrives. Grandmother was invited to have a cup of
tea.
The Queen has just left the room after having afternoon tea
with Paddington Bear. Grandmother sits at the table and the servant brings out
a fresh tea pot of tea for them both.
When she finishes having a cup of tea she stops and looks at
the tapestry with the list of British Kings and Queens on the left and The Line
of Descent of Queen Elizabeth 11 on the right side.
The Grandmother also looks at the picture of The New Zealand Woman’s Weekly, December 24th, 1953.
The Grandmother bends down and says good bye to the corgi she rescued and two other corgis come up to her.
The Royal Guards escort her to catch the taxi. One guard tells her to expect a parcel from Buckingham Palace when she gets home in New Zealand. (The tag on the tea towel says: The income from your purchase contributes directly to the Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity).
She has had a lovely afternoon
at Buckingham Palace.
