DD passing out at Hendon this summer. Just wanted to know if guests are able to park onsite or is there a car park nearby?
Also what do guests generally wear? Tia

We parked in RAF museum car park
Clothes,smart but not too full on,think nice dinner as opposed to wedding
I’d advise No big hats to obscure views, or vertiginous heels
Take some water to sip as it’s a lot of sitting about,and at times bit boring
Overall a really nice relaxed day,mingle and meet other friends. And for the graduating officers a huge sense of relief. I had a smashing time

Many thanks lipstick. That’s very helpful. I did contemplate wearing a hat but dd said no Grin. Dh is wearing a suit and tie is that too much?

Yes Men were in suits,women smartish dresses. If you do a hat go understated
Relaxed and welcoming, everyone was just so very proud and excited
Plus you get to meet folk you’ve heard loads about,nice to put a face to the name
We all went out afterwards
