Diamond Jubilee Garden Party
As Buckinghamshire residents, we are all being invited to apply for a free ticket to this event taking place near Henley-on-Thames on Monday June 25, a splendid afternoon to remember with a river pageant themed around the Thames, celebrating the important role the river has played in the life of the three counties over a thousand years. Four thousand guests will join The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh at the party, being jointly organised by the Lord-Lieutenants of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire as part of The Queen’s UK –wide Diamond Jubilee regional tour. More than a quarter of the tickets will be available through the public ballot which will be drawn on May 9. The ballot is open to adult residents of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Each successful applicant will be allocated a double ticket so they can bring a guest. The ballot closes on April 30 and successful applicants will be notified by the end of May. An application form can be downloaded from here and must be returned by post.
