Gold Award celebration event 2024: the highlights

In May 2024, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh welcomed Gold DofE Award holders to Buckingham Palace Garden – for his second Gold Award celebration as the charity’s Patron. The celebrations recognised more than 8,000 young people who have shown extraordinary perseverance, creativity and resilience to complete their Gold DofE in schools, community organisations, youth groups and workplaces, all over the UK. During the event Buckingham Palace Garden was transformed into a festival-style celebration for young people and their loved ones, with giant deckchairs, bunting, and garden games and activities. Attendees had the chance to hear from famous DofE Award holders, sporting legends and international adventurers, and pick up career advice from actors, presenters, authors and entrepreneurs, at stages throughout the Garden. https://www.dofe.org/do/gold-award-ce...
