THE ROYAL OCCASION FOR US

[Myra Thomas-Rhodes]

John and I were fortunate enough to be invited to the State Reception, in honour of the visit to Western Australia, by Her Majesty The Queen, and His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh.

The Garden Party was held in the beautiful grounds of Government House, and the weather could not have been more perfect.

We were extremely lucky, and probably one of the few who were able to meet both The Queen, as well as The Duke.

Some people may not realise that Her Majesty has a kennel of Labradors, under the Sandringham prefix, which she still personally works to the gun.

Our State leader, Premier Colin Barnett, and his wife Lyn, have two Labradors bred by us, and we were introduced to Her Majesty, and spoke for some minutes regarding our mutual breed. Her first words,with a smile were, " I hear you are responsible for Colin's dogs!!"

Certainly an honour and a great privilege for us.
