The Buderim Foundation, which provides grants to local groups, will mark the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II ascending the throne with a luncheon fit for a queen.

“There will also be an array of delicious British-inspired savoury and sweet treats to enjoy.

“We are encouraging people to come dressed for a royal occasion – so men, get your jackets and ladies prepare your hats and jewels.”
