2013 Garter Day at Windsor Castle was as fabulous as ever.

In the crowd, someone’s collapsible chair proved to be just that – it collapsed! Fortunately, as usual, I had some “string” with me and managed to effect a temporary repair, at least for the duration of the event.

This just goes to show that there remain situations where only a bit of string and a knot can save the day.
