Carlyn Cane, one of the volunteers with the peacocks, commented: “Some of our longest-serving and senior volunteers were delighted to receive an invitation to the Royal Garden Party at Holyrood Palace.

“We were contacted by the Lord Lieutenant of Fife’s office and were very excited to get the opportunity to dress up as it doesn’t happen very often!

“We had a lovely day together; however, it was rather cold. It was nice to see so many people in fancy suits, dresses, and hats. We met some very interesting people and saw the Royals in a magnificent setting.”
