Regent Lynne Chase opened the event with an engaging presentation on the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, setting the tone for a memorable afternoon. Guests enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea featuring tiered trays filled with savory finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and jam, and an assortment of delicious sweet treats.
