JUBILEE MEMORIES

The Queen’s Scottish residence in Edinburgh is to host a display looking back at Her Majesty’s Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees. Among the items on display will be a striking ensemble of dress, coat and stole in pink silk crepe and chiffon designed in 1977 for the Silver Jubilee by the royal couturier Sir Hardy Amies. A matching hat designed by Simone Mirman features flowerheads hanging from silk stems. The outfit was worn at the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on 7 June 1977 marking the 25th anniversary of the accession.
