The dress, which was designed by British fashion designer Norman Hartnell, featured embroidered flowers from countries within the Commonwealth including the Tudor rose (England), thistle (Scotland), leek (Wales), shamrock (Ireland), wattle (Australia), maple leaf (Canada), fern (New Zealand), protea (South Africa), lotus flowers (India and Ceylon) and wheat, cotton, and jute (Pakistan).
Victoria has faithfully hand drawn these flowers and emblems which have then been printed onto mugs, tea towels, aprons, cup and saucers, baubles, canvas bags and magnets as well as tea and biscuits to create a truly commemorative collection.
Made entirely in the UK, using the finest materials and craftspeople, the collection is the perfect choice to celebrate this historic occasion.
