Graham Furber, from Bomere Heath, has been invited to attend the Buckingham Palace event on May 3 after receiving a BEM for services to cricket, disability sport and to the community in Wem.
"Pam and I have been invited to the garden party on May 3 and are looking forward to it, especially my wife who is really excited," said the 74-year-old."We've not been to a garden party before but we have been to Buckingham Palace before on behalf of the Cricket Federation for People with Disabilities, in 2008.
"Back then we spoke to the Princess Royal and shook hands with the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, which was a complete surprise. "I've also been within a yard of Prince Charles when he opened the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital when I worked in pathology back in the 90s."
