Royal excitement
We’ve had an exciting time.
Ed and I motored down to Cranfield University at the Defence Academy, Watchfield (just outside Swindon), to share in our youngest daughter’s PhD graduation ceremony.
That was exciting, but even more so, the Princess Royal was awarded an honorary degree at the same ceremony. Afterwards, Becki (and her guests – that’s Ed and me and our son, Alex) was one of the students chosen to be presented to Princess Anne (the queen’s daughter).
Here’s one of the pictures taken by proud parents…
Later, Princess Anne’s husband, the drop-dead gorgeous Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence, also came and chatted – and actually shook my hand. I haven’t washed since.
Here he is…
They were both such nice people. They must get sick to death of such events, yet showed great interest in everyone and everything, and both with a lovely sense of humour.
A great occasion. We loved it!
