bpm[26] - grassed areas [Private]
This grassed area - actually a wider extent to both left & right - was the area used for the 1991 Royal Garden Party, held in July. [Stand Down was in September 1991, although some ROC personnel were retained until 1995].

The area to the left had a table / parasol / gazebo for each Group, arranged in two "semi-circles" - the inner line - including 23 Group - received visits from HMQueen while the outer set met Prince Philip. We had to stay in our "Group area" until the Royal Party had left the next group along, but were not to pass the group they were with ...
.
To the right were the catering facilities, a large pavilion with cucumber sandwiches, strawberries & cream, plus liquid - non-alcoholic - refreshments for the "other ranks" --- a selected number of the more senior officers were invited to the Officers' Mess to take Tea with the Royal Party.

The summer drought has parched the ground, the trees were doing a little better than the grass, but not by much.
This area is not accessible to museum visitors as it is a private facility to the residents.
