The Platinum Jubilee is fast approaching and with it comes a four-day bank holiday to celebrate the Queen's unprecedented anniversary. Ahead of the momentous occasion, which will see many street parties up and down the country, supermarkets are pulling out all the stops, and Marks and Spencer is no different.
The high-street store has announced a total overhaul to its M&S Food Halls, adding everything from stunning centre pieces, to sweet treats and top tipples. Among those causing a stir with customers is the Honey Roast Ham, HRH, Sausage Roll, and the Corgi Gingerbread, a nod to Her Majesty's beloved pooches.
While some limited-edition products, such as the Corgi Meets Jubilee Connie the Caterpillar, are in stores now. Others won't be hitting the shelves until June 1 or later and M&S suspects the products could be pretty popular.
