To tell you that Peter Andre kissed me today?

[IdrisElbasWife]

I've n/c as this will completely out me but today I met Peter Andre and got my photo taken with him and he gave me a kiss.

I take back all the horrible things I've ever said about him, he was lovely!

And so as not to dripfeed, I also met Chico (yes, Chico time!), Fatima Whitbread (lovely, lovely lady), two guys from Goggle box, Prince Andrew, Pam St Clement and a whole load of other lovely people who aren't famous but really were great fun.

I know it's a bit of a stealth boast but I've had such an amazing day!!

[IdrisElbasWife]

ginger actually it states you cannot take photos in the Palace or take photos of the exterior of the Palace. Neither can you do SELFIES with the Royals but photography is allowed.

howto yes, they have huge marquees with tables and chairs and we had lovely, lovely food. It was all very civilised and nothing like any other marquee I've ever been in. Even the 'portaloos' were posh!

coconut Sorry I have no words of advice. We got a phone call asking if we'd like to go. It took us about 30 seconds to say yes and then they sent out an invite.

Bejay Sorry, I didn't sniff him.

Asprilla Sorry, but she didn't! She had on a long blue and white dress, with a white jacket over the top and a gorgeous blue hat. Very un-Pat like!

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

Oh they're my favourites off Goggle Box. Well after the Siddiqis.

[Asprilla11]

OP - Did Pam have big earrings on (as in Pat Butcher style)?

I really want that to be part of her real life image to!

[BeJayKayven]

He looks like he smells lovely, did he?

How does one get an invitation to a palace garden party? Where's my invitation

[LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett]

Aw. Pete loves his kids and Idris Elba's wife. All the happy feelz. Sounds like you had a great day

[GloGirl]

Yes Ginger, they might TUT AT YOU
Lucky you got away with it today OP

[howtorebuild]

Did you get somewhere to sit and drink tea?

[GingerMerkin]

Taking photos? not supposed to do that in Buckingham Palace Gardens! Says on the invitation.

[BillSykesDog]

I'm quite stunned that someone who clearly has impeccable taste in some areas (Idris Elba) quite clearly has so little in others. Peter Andre -not my cup of tea, but I can understand how to lovers of Ronsealed antipodeans there might be a certain limited appeal.

BUT

Seriously.

Prince Andrew - lovely????? FFS, WTF is wrong with you woman?

[IdrisElbasWife]

Thank you :)

Herman Pam was lovely, very gracious and didn't mind the endless stream of people asking for photos. She had on a gorgeous hat.

[Theladyloriana]

Ah bless op you look gorgeous and Andre is aging very nicely indeed there

[IdrisElbasWife]

Jeremy Hunt? Weren't you tempted to throw him in the lake? I'd certainly have been tempted Frog. Yes, plate Tetris :o Iced coffee was gorgeous, wish I could have had another but settled for strawberries and cream. The fruit cake was the best I have ever tasted (sorry mum!)

Thank you herman and mango

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

No one loves their kids like you

[MangoMoon]

Lovely picture!
Weirdly I seem to have been warming to Pete lately

[skullaphant]

No, he was clothed unfortunately. But I have hope for the future.

[HemanOrSheRa]

You look fabulous btw. What was Pam like? A friend of mine met her years ago at the height of her Eastenders fame and said she was fabulous!

[FrogletinaBallerina]

I went last Thursday and aside from the Queen and assorted Royals, the only well known face there was Jeremy Hunt... Did you successfully achieve "plate Tetris" with all the sandwiches and cake?

[IdrisElbasWife]

Yeah, I think I'll leave him there for now.

I'll take him out a cup of tea in the morning. He'll be fine. It's not cold.

[IdrisElbasWife]

skullaphant Yes. Yes, you do.

Was he naked though?

[SouthWestmom]

Leave him a bit longer?

[HemanOrSheRa]

Aw, yeah OP, Free The Orange One. Sounds like you had a fabulous day!

[skullaphant]

Tom Hardy kissed me AND winked at me, so I win.

[IdrisElbasWife]

Chico was lovely. Like a very overexcited child (much like my DP and all the other ex-Navy guys to be honest!) and he was so nice to everyone.

Do you think I should get Peter out of my car boot yet? I think he stopped kicking about an hour down the M3.

[leelu66]

He looks alright! has aged better than David Beckham.
