Queen Elizabeth II is opening her gardens to the public.
It was announced on Wednesday that the Buckingham Palace gardens will welcome members of the public from July to September this year. Guests will be allowed to do a self-guided garden tour for the first time, according to a statement from the Royal Collection Trust. Visitors will be free to explore a route through the garden that encompasses the 156-metre Herbaceous Border, plane trees planted by and named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and views of the island and its beehives across the 3.5-acre lake, the statement added.
It continued: The unique opportunity to enjoy a picnic on one of the sweeping lawns will be part of the visit. Features in the south-west of the garden, including the Rose Garden, summer house and wildflower meadow, can be viewed through one of the guided tours that will run each day.

Diane Dourish from Alnwick in the north of England attends a special picnic in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, ahead of the Diamond Jubilee, Buckingham Palace in 2012. Features in the south-west garden, including the Rose Garden, summer house and wildflower meadow, will be accessible via a daily guided tour that can be booked separately. The only other time anyone has been able to picnic on the Queen’s carefully manicured lawn was during a Diamond Jubilee event in 2012. To mark the occasion, chef Heston Blumenthal conjured up a five-course menu for 12,000 guests who had secured free tickets to a concert at the palace, which was all carefully wrapped and presented in a wicker hamper.

This year, however, the gardens are to be thrown open to visitors for the first time, allowing the public to wander around the picturesque landscape and picnic on the lawns.

The traditional summer opening of the palace s state rooms, which normally attracts thousands, has been cancelled for a second year due to the pandemic.
Demand for garden visit tickets - priced at £16.50 for adults and £9 for children - is so high that customers must enter an online queuing system.
The RCT said it was overwhelmed .
Thousands of people have been queuing online for tickets with a wait time of more than an hour .
