Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace - the guide

17/05/2023

🗳️🍻 Don’t forget to vote for your Pub of the Year 2023! I’m searching for the best pub in the constituency (from Chippenham, Melksham, Corsham, Bradford on Avon and the villages) and there’s less than a week until Round One closes!

📣 There will be two rounds of voting - the first includes all pubs in the constituency and is OPEN for you to have your say until Monday 22 May. You can vote HERE 👉 https://bit.ly/3NLMZcP

🏅The 1️⃣0️⃣ pubs with the highest number of votes will go through to a second round of voting which will open next Friday - look out for the link here on my page!

🥂We have so many fantastic local pubs and this is all about celebrating how important they are, encouraging people to support them, and sharing some of our favourite hidden local gems! Pubs are the backbone of our community, supporting our local economy and bringing our towns and villages together, so I am always keen to support them however I can.

🏆 The winning pub will be announced on National Beer Day, which is taking place on Thursday 15 June!

📣 I will then be inviting a Cabinet Minister to come and visit the winner to present them with their trophy, which is an exciting opportunity for the winning landlord to talk about why their pub is so special and how important it is to the community.

👍 Get voting for your favourite local pub and do share with anyone who would like to vote.

Yes on the orders of QueenVictoria as she came through the gates one day (which are actually the ‘official entrance’ to Buckingham Palace) she found none on duty - the story is that she stopped the carriage and went to investigate - only to find the guards drunk! So ordered the 4 o’clock parade to ensure it didn’t happen again!

Interesting fact for the day!

Did you know?
The curb chain is based on Napoleonic era uniforms, it was designed to protect against a cavalry sabre so they didn't split the face of the wearer.

May seem a bit ‘off the wall to share this here but would really appreciate if anyone would be interested to complete a short 4 minute survey on Perceptions on the use of Elephants in tourism in Thailand - how sustainable is it?
Many thanks
