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...

if you do, then you should pop up to kings to get your olfactory setup rebooted.

You keep promising that. Yet you are still here.

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

Borky- what's your criticism of him?

I'm no fan personally. But rather than empty one liners, why not offer something up in opposition?

[DulwichFox]

I think he just wants to spend more time with the Children..

[Robert Poste's Child]

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.

Borky - Borks...he held out a fair while this time. I've missed The stalinist sweaty.
