Off to Buckingham Palace to be the “hostage” ensuring HM The King’s safe return when he opens Parliament - a tradition dating back to Charles I. Not sure I’m looking forward to it, but glad to play my part!
Congratulations to THREE new Companions to the Order of the Garter. The Lord Hennessy of Nympsfield;
Lord O’Donnell, GCB and Rt Hon The Lord Burnett of Maldon, have all be made Knights Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter by the HM The King. Happy St George's Day!
