The Order of the Garter Hugo Vickers has made a long study of the Order of the Garter, its history and its significance. He writes the notes in the official souvenir sold each year on Garter Day. This lecture not only outlines that history, but gives examples of occasions when the Garter has impinged on national life. It is a lecture packed with fascinating anecdotes by one who has never missed a Garter ceremony since 1965.
