A stunning commemorative giftware collection
in celebration of the Diamond Wedding of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth
II and HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 2007. The symbol
of the cross is an established Royal device and features frequently in
examples from Crown Jewels. The four national symbols are also
represented: the rose, the national flower of England adopted around
the time of the Wars of the Roses; the daffodil, worn on St. David's
Day each March 1st as the national flower of Wales; the thistle,
adopted by Scotland during the reign of Alexander III; and the
shamrock as the national emblem of Ireland. |
