It was announced on the 15th and I started this thread on the 15th, best you find the second one and complain there

You all seem to be missing the point, it is NOT meant for you or me, but for the Business community, and the wealthier groups (like political pressure groups) and similar.

It will of course be highly televised and think of all the cheap publicity these groups will be getting.

I would not be surprised to see visitors from around the world 'Paying their respects',and getting their grubby hands in the trough.

I for one do not live in that world, and I suspect 95% of the rest of the UK do not either hmm

If wet in the vicarage. It will be very crowded and the food will be awful- I don't think I'll go I don't mix with the hoi polloi! grin

Yes, I felt a bit deja vu about the thread, think there is another one somewhere.

Hasn't another thread been started about this? confused

The Royals often use family members to organise important events if they've got the know-how. Didn't Lord Snowdon mastermind Prince Charles' investiture?

Patrick Lichfield and Lord Snowdon were official photographers for years until the younger Royals started taking their own pics and Lady Elizabeth Anson (Lichfield's sister) has been the Queen's party planner since the sixties.

The Middletons are bound to cash in as well so I don't have a problem with Peter Phillips' involvement.

If rainy....in the scout hut.?

I wouldn't pay £150 if I was invited do they can save the stamp.

Imagine being "invited" to a party and then asked to pay £150 for the privilege of attending? I have heard of "bring a bottle" but this is plain ridiculous.

Yes it's called Buck palace Granny23 I am sure that's where they will all go if the weather takes a turn for the worst. grin

I belong to a society thatwhich has the Queen as its patron. It has been offered a dozen tickets for just over £100 each. I was offered some and said no.

While being a staunch supporter of this country staying a monarchy. I am not sure I would have gone, even if I had been offered free tickets.

Granny23 Fri 15-Jan-16 10:37:07

What if it rains? Have they booked the nearest village hall?

gillybob Fri 15-Jan-16 10:33:12

Exactly Anniebach the royals all live on another planet. Peter Phillips' company supposedly bid for the contract. Yeah right.

I for one will not be celebrating the life of this over indulged family. Does her maj have a clue how much some people live on in an average week? Probably less than the cost of one bloody ticket to her party. angry

You would have to pay me £150 to be with a mall full of strangers to celebrate the birthday of someone I have never met. Good grief.

Anniebach Fri 15-Jan-16 10:27:17

No plebs allowed grin

Cloud cuckoo land - where do these people come from. Mind you it will keep out the riff raff like usgrin

The Mall Street party to celebrate her ninetieth birthday is for tickets only costing £150 , organised by her grandson Peter Phillips company . So two parents and two children will have to pay £600 ,this rules out a large section of people .
