A STAUNCH royalist organised a garden party to honour the Queen's 80th birthday.
Bernard Borman organised a party in the garden of his Leyburn home. A member of the Constitutional Monarchy Association, he said he was proud to hold the party for the Queen.
He said: "I think the Queen's birthday is a very important event. I think we should show, in some small way, our gratitude for the superb leadership we receive from the Queen and her consort.
"It's important that we show our respect to the Queen and her consort. We always fly the flag on the Queen's birthday."
Mr Borman also flew the Union flag and the St George's Cross at his home.
Association members were at the party while the Reverend Christopher Huggett, of St Matthews Church, Leyburn, gave the royal toast.
