As a party planner extraordinaire, Carole Middleton has given the public a glimpse – and inspiration – into how she'll be marking the Queen's upcoming Platinum Jubilee in June. The Duchess of Cambridge's mother's business, Party Pieces, has launched a special range to help people celebrate the royal event.

Aptly called "A Great British Party," the collection has been specifically designed to commemorate the Jubilee and features a mix of classic stripes and the iconic Union Jack topped with English roses.
