Wee finds: Jubilee shop windows
Happy Jubilee Tuesday! I love the way that Britain's retailers have fully embraced the pomp and pageantry of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee with patriotic window displays. Not a bad retail strategy, actually, considering it's a golden opportunity to showcase the very best of British products.
I also adore the very British sense of humour that's evident in so many window displays - from bunting fashioned out of knickers in Frome to the Queen dressed in a sparkly Union Jack in Hebdin Bridge.
But no-one else could quite capture the splendour, eccentricity and wit of Selfridges, which outdid itself with its magnificent "Big British Bang” campaign, with each window portraying a typically British scene. The "food of royalty" window features a Pearly King and Queen in an East End caff, while punks take over the "changing of the guard" window. Brilliant.
I've pulled together a gallery of some of the UK's best Jubilee shop windows. Which one is your favourite?
