Gold DofE Awards Ceremony

Updated: Apr 8, 2023

Whilst working with JLGB, I completed my Gold Duke of Edinburgh's award. On February 10th 2020 I went to collect my awards at the St James’ Palace. I went to the venue with my Auntie and bumped into several of my old work friends (from JLGB) so instantly began catching up, speaking with and discussing what we had been upto since we last saw each other.

When heading into the building we were also told to stand in a ‘horse shoe’ shape and I was standing next to a few guys I had never met before and began talking to them. I made a list of the people I had been speaking to and told them to contact me if they wanted to plan some events/activities or hang out as I have a very busy schedule and have to prioritise the spare time that I do have on tasks and activities that would be beneficial for me.


I was awarded the certificate by 'Dame Katherine Jane Grainger DBE who is a British former rower and current chair of UK Sport. With five Olympic medals she is Great Britain's most decorated female Olympian. She is a 2012 Summer Olympics gold medallist, four-time Olympic silver medallist and six-time World Champion'...

After the awards ceremony, me and my Auntie went to a restaurant called 'Langan's Brasserie' and had a variety of 'up market' meals. I did actually see somebody famous in the restaurant but didn't speak to him as he was obviusly having a private meal with his wife (but he was a presenter for BBC Sports)...

I had a spicy chicken burger with spicy chips and either spinach or basil (not really sure which one it was); but either way, the food was lovely!
