Former star of The Apprentice and well-known Welsh entrepreneur Alex Mills has got into the jubilee spirit and adorned his home and gardens with masses of bunting, union flags — and life-size cut-outs of the Queen! The self-confessed Royalist wanted to do something special to mark the historic platinum jubilee and put a smile on the face of people in his local community.
He told WalesOnline that one of his first jobs, when he was 19, was making Royal plaques - the kind that are placed on the walls of new buildings or local landmarks after they've been officially opened by the Queen or another member of the Royal family. With this in mind, Alex wanted to bring the Queen to his home in Wenvoe, outside Cardiff, however he could - so he ordered life-size cut-outs from Amazon and has placed them around his garden so Her Majesty can enjoy the Welsh sunshine this weekend!
"I've decorated — more like over-decorated — the house because it's the Queen's Jubilee," he said. "I'm a proud supporter of the Queen. Years ago, I used to make plaques for the Queen. When I was 19, I made plaques that would be used when the Queen opened events and buildings. I've been a Royalist for quite some time."
