Brian and his wife Stella were at the Royal Garden Party at Holyrood last Tuesday.

Brian was invited as he’s the Chairman of the One o’ Clock Gun & Time Ball Association and Stella as she's the Membership Secretary. I wasn't invited as dogs are not allowed in.

The Queen presented Special PC Lily Laing, from Colinton with an MBE for her outstanding service to the Lothian & Borders Police and the community.
