On July 20th 1999 we were very
proud to attend a ceremony at Buckingham Palace where he received his Gold Duke of
Edinburgh Award. |
 |
His group had their awards from Peter Shilton, former England
soccer goalkeeper, but later he had a personal talk with Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex
(unfortunately cameras are not allowed in the Palace grounds so the moment is lost to
posterity!). That evening we attended the Royal Tournament where the Earl was guest of
honour....and we were up in the "cheap seats" |
 |
To achieve his Gold Award, Jeremy had to do:
- an expedition of a week.....which he did back packing in Zimbabwe,
- community service...he spent a week helping build a dam to allow a village to
have its water supply ahead a winter earlier than it would have done.
- His report can be seen ...............#
