How many people are permitted to accompany a recipient of a Gold DoE at Buck House?

Only one it seems - to St James's anyway.


"We invite as many Award recipients as possible to attend a presentation at St James?s Palace. As space in the State Apartments is limited you are only able to bring one personal guest, who must be over the age of 16."

Probably a well-known multi-poster-reincarnate...

Thanks John.

And one that rhymes with the current name, I'd guess.

I rather like his sense of humour and that he uses it to deal with what must be pretty tedious activities (not Sn, sorry, Borky: Prince Philip). He's spent his whole life getting on with what has to be done, apparently not worrying too much how sections of the media may spin it, and accepting the limitations his role has imposed on him, such as not being able to give his own children his surname, his family's exile from Greece and his mother's mental illness.

Yes. Reminds me of a former poster, with a username that sounded very similar to this one. Although this latest one is more like a crude parody of the original.

I was lucky enough to attend Buckingham Palace presentation last may, and it was only one guest on the invitation. However, and I'm not sure if this was because it was the Diamond jubilee year, my husband was also allowed to attend, as he signed up to complete a Diamond Challenge.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
