With the Queen's diamond jubilee on the horizon, and patriotic passion set to seize the nation, a rather more quirky way of celebrating her Majesty's reign has been offered up by a royal memorabilia enthusiast.
Margaret Tyler, whose house boasts the largest collection of royal memorabilia in the UK, is throwing open her Union Jack-swathed doors to the public, with sovereign supporters given the chance to stay in her 'Sandringham room' and cuddle up to one of her corgis (for an added extra.)
The regal room is nestled in the London suburb of Wembley and can be rented for only £75 per night on home rental website Wimdu.co.uk.
Awake the inner patriot with Tyler's jubilee themed room
In Tyler's shrine to her Majesty, guests will find more stylish souvenirs than paper masks and monarchic mugs - Tyler's collection is insured for £40,000.
Among the 10,000 carefully displayed items are a replica of Charles and Camilla’s wedding certificate, the official Kate ‘Issa’ dress complete with Kate and Wills mannequins.
The 66-year-old grandmother and loyal patriot has collected royal souvenirs for over 30 years, her passion really taking off during Prince Charles' marriage to Diana.
The love for the royals remained strong even as the Charles and Diana filed for divorce, and a whole back room is devoted tomemorabilia of the late Princess.
Visitors staying amid the patriotic fervour of red white and blue drapery will be treated to a tour of her house, and able see Tyler's carefully displayed souvenirs. Would you stay in a house like this?
