| The Diamond Jubilee Palm Dog Ceremonial Collar, and in the background the Diamond Jubilee Palm Dog Rickshaw awaits! |
I had the HUGE honor of doing a bit of Rickshaw interior design for the event... stringing
slip on bandanas together to make doggy
bunting and blitzing the carriage with canine red, white and blue. We used a
Fur Friend Fleecy Blanket on the seat to make sure Smurf the winner was kept warm and brought along a
Union Flag Dog Doza bed to ensure his regal comfort.
Smurf himself was a diamond, keeping everyone entertained with his tricks and pure adorableness.
Smurf and his human co-star in "
Sightseers" Steve Oram paraded around Seven Dials in Covent Garden and then on to
Tatty Devine in Monmouth Street, who were the HQ for this fabulous get together after creating the human winners medal necklace, and very kindly asking us to get involved to deal with the doggy awards.
Cheering from the sidelines were Sightseers director Ben Wheatley,
Palm Dog founder and organiser Toby Rose and a posse of film crews and media.
The BFI were there to tweet the event and it may even feature in the extras of the Sightseers DVD.
A terribly exciting day for one and all. I got a little snap happy so below is a photo diary of the day.
Hurrah and Happy Diamond Jubilee!!

Here he is crossing and uncrossing his legs... |
