Happy Birthday Ma’am!


Celebrations of the Queen’s Official Birthday are big business on both sides of the Atlantic!

In London, we saw Prince William take part in the Trooping the Colour parade in full military regalia to celebrate his grandmother’s 85th birthday, which comes just a day after the Duke of Edinburgh’s 90th Birthday. Thousands of people packed the streets around Buckingham Palace to watch the lavish spectacle, with a history of more than 250 years.

In Miami, the British-American Business Council (BABC) is hosting a Gala Event on Saturday 18th June at the Conrad Hotel to commemorate the landmark occasion. The Miami chapter of BABC provides its members with opportunities to promote their business and make valuable contacts in a series of educational, networking and social events.

The event promises to be a lavish and very British affair. Bombay sapphire gin and tonics will be available on arrival. Dinner will be prepared by renowned British Chef Jonathan McCann and accompanied by complementary wine and specially-imported Welsh spring water. After dinner entertainment includes a live auction for transatlantic business-class flight ticket, with a silent auction for other goodies, followed by dancing to music from the Miami Blues Band.

Her Majesty will be represented by the Guest of Honour, Consul General, Kevin McGurgan and his wife, Victoria. It will be a fantastic opportunity to experience Great British hospitality and to network with all manner of interesting people. Tickets cost $125 per person, available via the Miami BABC website.
