I am afraid I have no 1960 port but as I am not at the 8s tasting a few weeks after, I was going to bring a GM68 if that is acceptable.
Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Regrettably I am no longer able to make this. I do hope my citizenship will not be questioned for such a treasonous act!

Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Is there a 1960 theme? I recently acquired a batch of 1911 "something" VP.... which, I believe, is another significant Royal event (Coronation). It seems fitting to open a bottle on this occasion. Given the bottle condition is not perfect, I will also bring a reserve (probably a 1960...! ).

A 1911 (Martinez? Sandeman? Rebello Valente? A Taylor single quinta?) would be most welcome: thank you.
A second bottle is never wrong: Thank you. It can be ’60, or something else. Indeed, there were no major Royal events in 1878, but an 1878 would still be welcome — that’s how unfussy we are.

Draft of the (more decorative than usual) placemats added to first post. Some people haven’t revealed, or revealed only partly.
Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Please, port revelations from Derek, Mike, Wolfgang S. And a shipper name from Tony.

There will be four toasts, at 6½pm sharp.
➊ The Queen.
➋ The Happy Couple.
➌ The Port Forum.
➍ Vintage Port.
The monarchy being the most ancient institution, the first of these will be done with the oldest Port at table. But with which should the others be done?

From Dan: "That’s easy – salmon, followed by Rib eye”, the next question being answered with “Medium rare for rib eye”.

For me please:
No starter, special order bone-in rib-eye (medium rare) with skinny chips and béarnaise sauce, a portion of shallots on the side (although I'll have them with the green beans if I have to).
