The Brighton Belles were
invited to be part of the Founders Day
celebrations, at The Royal Hospital
Chelsea. Over the past 2 years we have
forged strong links with the hospital and
many of the In-Pensioners.
Royal
Hospital Founder's Day is held on a day
close to the 29th May. This is the
birthday of Charles II as well as the
date of his restoration as King in May
1660. It is also known as Oak Apple Day
as it commemorates the escape of the
future King Charles after the Battle of
Worcester (1651) when he hid in an oak
tree to avoid capture by the
Parliamentary forces'.
We felt Honoured to
be part of this prestigious day and met
many famous people.
Our thanks to The
Royal Hospital Chelsea.
