Royal Garden Parties

Over 30,000 people attend Royal Garden Parties each year. During the summer, at least three are held at Buckingham Palace

and one at the Palace of Holyrood house in Edinburgh.
 
People from all sections of the community are invited, usually through organisations with lists on a prearranged quota

(e.g. the Government, Armed Services, Diplomatic Corps, charities and societies) to ensure that a representative cross-section of the national life is invited.

(For this reason individuals cannot apply for an invitation.)
 
Invitations are sent out by the Lord Chamberlain on behalf of The Queen. All the arrangements are planned by the Lord Chamberlain's Office.

Gentlemen wear morning dress, lounge suits or uniform; ladies wear afternoon dress (usually with hats). National dress can also be worn.

Remembrance Day


Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph in London

The Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. This is held on the second Sunday in November, when the nation, led by The Queen,

pays homage to those who died in the two world wars and in many other lesser conflicts this century. The Queen, other members of the Royal family

and leaders of the country's political parties join representatives of the armed forces and ex-servicemen and women for the two-minute silence

and the Last Post. The Queen then lays a wreath of poppies at the foot of the Cenotaph, followed by members of the Royal family,

representatives of the political parties and high commissioners from the Commonwealth.
