Royal Garden Parties
Each year, the Lord-Lieutenant is asked to nominate a number of Hertfordshire residents to receive an invitation to one of the Royal Garden Parties hosted by HM The King at Buckingham Palace.
The King and Queen Consort, accompanied by other members of the Royal mingle with the 8,000 guests during the afternoon. The dress is morning dress, lounge suits or uniform for gentlemen and day dress or trouser suits (usually with hats) for the ladies. National dress may be worn.
Names must be submitted using the general nomination form to the Lieutenancy Office by the end of October at the latest for inclusion in the list for the following year. The Lieutenancy is unable to accept nominations unless details of the nominee’s verified voluntary work and full home address are included. The Lord-Lieutenant considers all nominations in November/December for submission to the Buckingham Palace Garden Party Office in January and precedence is given to Hertfordshire residents.
Honoured to open the beautiful Memorial Garden at the @HertsPolice HQ in the presence of family members of those officers who gave their lives in service to the community. A time capsule was buried to be opened in 50 years…

An excellent interfaith event at @StAlbansCath.A great opportunity to engage with so many local people from different religious communities. Our diversity is our strength if we talk to each other. @jokellymoore #interfaith
Delighted to chair the judges for #Hertfordshire schools debating competition in The House of Commons. The quality of debating was outstanding. Well done @rickyschool who beat @MerchantTaylors in the final. Thanks @gaganmohindra for arranging.
