Thousands of pounds worth of merchandise commemorating the upcoming Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations have been rendered almost worthless after a printing error that would be right at home in an Only Fools and Horses episode.
Plates, mugs, cups and saucers have all fallen victim to the same error - which reads 'To Commemorate the Platinum Jubbly of Queen Elizabeth II.'
The mistake by Chinese firm Changzhouint Merchandise features The Queen smiling, surrounded by the royal coat of arms and 1952 - the date of her accession. Intended to mark the monarch's Diamond Jubilee, the mistake was spotted straightaway, triggering the deal to fall through - even if the merchandise was lovely jubbly.
