This afternoon, The King and Queen hosted a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Their Majesties were joined by The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. ☕️ Over the course of each year, over 30,000 guests are invited to attend a Garden Party, usually in recognition of public service, and are nominated by organisations including the Armed Forces, the NHS and a wide range of charities.

Queen Camilla has met a group of life-saving hounds who have been trained to sniff out disease and illness. Praising the work of @MedDetectDogs she dismissed ‘the sceptics’ telling guests - incl the Pcss of Wales’ brother James Middleton - that ‘nature will always lead the way’

2nd engagement of the day as High Sheriff of Greater Manchester was a lunch in Castlefield for retired business people. I also gave a talk about my life and what a Sheriff does. A donation was made to Willow Wood Hospice. @GMLO_UK

🎈🎉 RAF veteran Betty Joy Welch has celebrated her 105th birthday surrounded by family, friends and carers in Seaton. Betty served as a telephonist in the RAF during the Second World War and is believed to be one of the last surviving RAF veterans from her generation. More than 80 years on from her service, Betty is still enjoying shopping trips, games of dominoes and spending time with the people around her. Happy 105th birthday, Betty.🎉 midweekherald.co.uk/news/26094471.…

Fun moment at the end of tonight’s @KingsTrust event where King Charles and Queen Camilla make a secret switch with @antanddec from the Royal Box, and are introduced on stage as the ‘nation’s favourite couple’

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of @KingsTrust! 💫 The King and Queen joined King’s Trust ambassadors, alumni, staff, and volunteers at the Royal Albert Hall for a special evening recognising the work of the charity. Congratulations to all the young people the Trust has supported over the last 50 years on your remarkable achievements.

Tonight I marked one month in post as High Sheriff of Greater Manchester by visiting Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall Heritage Society to talk about my role - and Cissie and Ada. A donation was made to Willow Wood Hospice. @GMLO_UK

Sublime tasting menu @TimAllenSolo with warm service. Highly recommended

Presenting my incredible C24 BGG @physiquipe @dogandhatlove @NewhillDeals NQual, MintMech and Dial a Geek. A day of insight and inspiration #10ksbuk

A week of delayed and cancelled trains led to 'interesting' routes home with dashes across stations and too much time on chilly platforms. But when it's out of your control smile and make the best of the ride. This was Thursday when finally on my way home.

As High Sheriff of Greater Manchester today I joined the Chief Constable and the Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester at the new Longsight Custody Suite. Very impressive. @GMLO_UK

@MarkLlewellin3 Mr Jeremy Fisher!

Came home to a fox asleep in the garden (happens most days) and did a bit of flower arranging ready for the Willow Wood Hospice flower festival which is on this weekend.

A much-loved community tradition has returned as Willow Wood Hospice in Ashton-under-Lyne hosts its latest Flower Festival, which is officially opening to visitors this weekend. The event has been formally opened by the High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Mark Llewelyn DL, marking the start of a celebration of floral art and fundraising in support of hospice care. Held within the hospice grounds, this year’s festival takes inspiration from the enchanting world of Beatrix Potter, with floral displays designed to reflect the charm and storytelling of the beloved children’s author. Visitors are being invited to explore imaginative arrangements created by local groups, volunteers, and supporters, each contributing to the themed experience.

As High Sheriff of Greater Manchester it was a great pleasure to support the Forget Me Not appeal for Alzheimer’s UK this afternoon. @GMLO_UK
