Royal occasions and souvenirs go together like tea and cucumber sandwiches – so it stands to reason this year will be marked with mementoes to commemorate an extraordinary achievement: Queen Elizabeth’s unprecedented 70 years on the throne.
Her Majesty’s official ascension occurred on 6 February 1952, the day her beloved father died, but a right royal line up of festivities has been planned for June when the British weather will – hopefully – be a bit brighter.
