Buckingham Palace Garden Party for a Gold Duke Edinburgh Award Celebration
I was given the honour on Friday 10th May to attend a Buckingham Palace Garden Party for a Gold Duke Edinburgh Award celebration.
The sun was bright and after entering the gates, I was able to walk around the lovely gardens and listen to inspirational speeches on the satellite stages.
Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, gave a speech from the balcony alongside two gold award winners.
Their speeches were incredibly inspiring, talking not only about their journey through the different awards, but what they had gained from it which inspired them in their careers and future ambitions.
We have had seven students receive their D of E Gold Award going through the school awards system and have a further six working towards it this year.
