... FROM THE MEWS - MAY 2012

HORSE RANGERS "BY ROYAL APPOINTMENT"

HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee visit to ‘Wild London’ in Richmond Park on Tuesday May 15 saw our Musical Ride on official duty. They escorted The Queen from Holly Lodge.  Three of our RDA members, who attend Clarendon School in Hampton,  Hannah Roberts, Molly Mead and Kane Crack, were there to present a bouquet to Her Majesty (see Walton & Weybridge newspaper's front page story on Facebook  and also our video is on Facebook & Youtube). The Riders later performed in the arena of the new Jubilee Fields.
