The British Empire still rules at an English High Tea

The British Empire lasted over a century, becoming the largest the world has ever seen. While the empire diminished after World War II, part of it could still be seen in a somewhat hidden location in West Seattle on May 10th. The Daughters of the British Empire , known as the D.B. E held their annual English High Tea at the Village Green Nursery near White Center. The event was a fundraiser for the organization's group homes for it's elderly members. The D.B.E. has four such homes around the nation.
