Foof yes but without the hat Wink nice Summer dress or suit, comfortable shoes as lots I standing and walking around and a bag big enough for tissues and a camera

Oh no, I don't do hats, my head is too big!
I've seen a pretty pastel flowered wrap dress, was thinking that and either a blazer style jacket, or if the weather is a bit dodgy, my beige trenchcoat? Flat nude dolly shoes or possibly wedges?

How long do they normally last for (virgin!) Is there normally any seating?

Okay I would go with what you are planning to wear.
There normally is seating but there may also be some walking and standing around I would take your stick and ask you son to speak to his troop commander and request a reserved Seat for you

Ooh a reserved seat Grin everyone will think I am VI, I like that :)

Thank you for your advice, especially about the bag big enough for tissues!!
