All this is documented in various Freddie book publications. Upon Freddie\u2019s return, he loved all the work carried out on his home so much that, through Peter Freestone, he invited all employees of \u2018Taverners LTD\u2019 to a private party at his home. The directors of &#8216;Taverners LTD&#8217; duly passed Freddie\u2019s best wishes onto all employees who worked on the renovations project and informed them all of Freddie\u2019s \u2018THANKYOU PARTY\u2019.<br \/>\nAll employees who were to attend the private party were told by the directors that &#8216;under no circumstances&#8217; must they approach Freddie at the party. The party was held in Freddie\u2019s garden, there was a marquee and plenty of food &amp; drink. After 20 mins or so of the party getting started Freddie came out of Garden Lodge and &#8216;pounced&#8217; on everyone, personally thanking them all for the wonderful work carried out.<br \/>\nFreddie later had one of his staff (POSSIBLY PETER) bring the newly &#8216;produced&#8217; Barcelona Shoot Photographs &#8216;to which Freddie and his mother were extremely fond of&#8217; out to the garden, Freddie personally signed one of these promotional photographs for each and every member of \u2018Taverners\u2019 workforce.<br \/>\nSo this is an example of a TOTALLY GENUINE Freddie\u2019s signature, and it is special due to the fact that it was actually signed at Garden Lodge in the garden at a very private THANKYOU party!!!<br \/>\nI actually still retain the letter of provenance, purchased it directly from the employee.<\/p>\n<div class=\"2416a19e08873d0076105f82e7f970da\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6280590296994447\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- stretto -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;max-width:100%\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6280590296994447\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5886106757\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Taverners LTD&#8217; are a renovations company for the rich &amp; famous and are still based in London.
