The pleasant afternoon was a chance to showcase contemporary British culture with an Amy Winehouse impersonator.
There was uniquely British cheese galore. They even had Blue Cheddar Cheese that's difficult to find in the States.
Thanks to PBS' "The Great British Baking Show," British pastries finally got their due and Britweek's Queen Julibee showcased a smorgasbord of British fancy cookies, cream puffs, petite fours, and almond macaroons, much and plenty to a many delights.
Britweek, whichever permutation it maybe, a month-long party, pre-Brexit or a jovial, delightful, and proper Sunday afternoon tea fete, Britweek was all about Brits done good in Hollywood, giving back.
Victoria Summer and 9-piece Amy Winehouse Tribute Band, "Dear Amy" was the live entertainment, that warmed up for the real head liner...
The legendary DJ, Paul Oakenfold.
"“We are looking forward to bringing together our community again after such a long and difficult period,” said Nigel Daly OBE, Chairman of BritWeek.
Guests are encouraged to dress in Garden Party Royal Festive, and Children 14 and under (max 2 per household) may attend for free.
The Afternoon Tea Party in the Garden may be a British tradition but Britweek's Afternoon Tea Party was the chance to shine the spotlight on today's Britain and how today's Britain still continues to contribution to British culture and how it influences globally.
Her Majesty’s Consul General, Emily Cloke, remarked: “Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is a momentous occasion – where all over the world, and of course here in LA, we will mark The Queen’s remarkable service over the past seventy years. It is also an opportunity for communities like The BABC LA and BritWeek to come together to celebrate the modern, diverse and outward facing UK we are today.”
Britweek's Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Julibee of a Sunday Afternoon Tea Party was a jovial excuse to enjoy Summer and bring joy.
