HATS OFF (OR ON, RATHER) FOR QUEEN ELIZABETH
Sixty years is a long time to sit on a throne, wearing a crown and requesting all the bon bons you desire. In all seriousness, Queen Elizabeth II is the second-longest reigning monarch, only trumped by Queen Victoria who reigned for a total of 64 years. In the Diamond Jubilee Year of her reign, we have plenty of opportunities to celebrate our Queen, one of them taking place June 3 at the Harbour Room at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess. The Bermuda Reception High Tea for the Bermuda celebration in honour of Her Majesty begins at 4:00pm with traditional High Tea and a period hat and fashion show. Ladies are requested to wear hats and gloves and men morning suits and top hats. Tickets available at www.bdatix.bm.
