“The only thing you won’t find in this magazine is probably their feelings about the day because we wanted it to be a surprise souvenir. So, we did not seek them out for interviews. But we asked the children to appraise their parent's golden performance and also got rare pictures inside the State House,” reveals Hilary Bainemigisha, who was intimately involved in the production.
