Thank you to the Royal Collections for allowing me to use the images. I was invited to the press preview, but I live on the wrong side of the Pond. I will be going to the exhibition on June 15.

I went on Friday, it’s of course very good . The final room is the show stopper … FYI.. Queen Alexandra’s Coronation Dress does not look that colour when you see it. It’s obviously very. very faded , but what a treat to see it !
thanks , looking forward to the exhibit
