Beth to get the best seats in the house at Palace Jubilee concert
She will be joined with sister Angela McDowell after both applied for the VIP tickets months ago. Their invites came by post last Thursday but they managed to keep it a secret after getting an e-mail in March telling them they had been chosen out of thousands of applicants.
It was Angela’s idea to apply for the tickets and she suggested Beth try her luck as well. The keen Royalists, who travelled to London to see the Royal Wedding last year, had already booked to go to London over the Jubilee weekend and thought it would be an added bonus if they got to the Garden Party and concert. They will travel on Saturday and once they get to the garden party at Buckingham Palace will then be given VIP seats to the concert which will be televised live at 7.30pm.

“I just cannot believe we got tickets,” said Beth. “It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we’re really looking forward to it.”
