The sun shone brightly on Monday 16 May when Mrs Hughes and Mrs Wrenshall-Jones visited Buckingham Palace to help celebrate the 60th Anniversary of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.  HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., K.T., Founder, HRH The Earl of Wessex, K.G.,G.C.V.O., Trustee and HRH The Countess of Wessex, G.C.V.O were in attendance.

Mrs Hughes and Mrs Wrenshall-Jones were allocated to group 44, which included English Rugby Union footballer Danny Cipriani and Sports Presenter Jim Rosenthal (pictured below).

Mrs Hughes advised that it was a wonderful day of celebration and that the gardens were absolutely stunning.  She said it was difficult to believe that you were in the heart of London, apart from the noise of the traffic, of course!
