A Right Royal Afternoon

We may be far away from England, but last Saturday, on the day of the Royal Wedding in Windsor, a number of patriotic Brits-in-Uganda gathered together and watched the royal events unfold, coutesy of BBC T.V.  Far away, but determined not to miss out!

To mark the occasion, we donned fancy fascinators and dressed in patriotic colours or dresses (as appropriate!) and enjoyed the fun from far off! Being 2 hours ahead of British time, we were treated to afternoon tea-and-cake at  Kampala's Makindye Country Club. It was all good fun!

Two large screens and plenty of seating were set up so that we could feel part of events in our homeland:


And here are a few pictures of the celebratory participants:
