JLG XVI DINNER: PROTOCOL

1. I have consulted GHF. The normal protocol is that

following the last course, the host rises and toasts the

Queen and the Head of State of the guest of honour. He then

resumes his seat for coffee and rises again to make his

speech. At the end of the speech he may informally toast eg

the guest of honour, the coming talks etc. I attach the form of words for the formal toasts and an appropriate

ending to the speech.

The guest of honour can respond after the speech but is

not required to do so.
