Investiture. Protocol, hints, tips & inevitable banter

Prompted by the PPRuNe welcome of -
Hello NUFC1892, it appears that you have not posted on the forums for several weeks. Why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a debate with other members in any one of the forums?
and accepting I am putting myself up as the subject for a bit of humour, I seek the sage wisdom of PPRuNers.

By some oversight I seem to have been selected in the NYHL to be given a gong by HM in the near future. Not being a regular attendee at such occasions I really would appreciate any advice by anyone who has attended in the past. Here's a few questions to get started; Mrs NUFC1892 has a 100 others:

1. How much notice of the presentation can I expect to get?
2. How long does the ceremony go on for, including the inevitable 'waiting time' beforehand?
3. How quickly are we kicked out afterwards?
3. Where's the best place to stay the night before?
4. Can I assume the best way to get the Palace is by taxi?
5. What are the potential 'banana-skins'?

All responses appreciated.
