Royal Garden Party

This is one piece of family history that I was hoping to find as I cleared out the house.

A photo and newspaper cutting from 1970, when I was invited to Buckingham Palace for a Garden Party as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations for the founding of the British Red Cross.

While at the party I was one of the people selected at random to actually meet the queen. I understand that she has now recovered from the experience!, needless to say I haven't been invited back, but to be fair I haven't even returned the compliment of inviting her to my house for tea.

What did she ask about?, having asked where I was from she remembered having opened the new library in the town some years before, and also (easier for her to remember) that she started her honeymoon at Luton Hoo.
