The 2021 We Will Remember Them Gold Sovereign Range

Posted on October 18, 2021November 3, 2021 by Emma Wilde

On Remembrance Day each year, Britain comes together to honour and remember all those who sacrificed their lives in the defence of our country.

With each passing year, the number of men and women who served on land, sea, and air becomes ever fewer. With this in mind our latest sovereign range does not look at just an individual, or an event, but is instead a tribute to everyone who served in the British Armed Forces during World War Two. We present The 2021 We Will Remember Them Gold Sovereign Range.

Posted on June 17, 2021November 29, 2023 by Emma Wilde

Princess Diana once famously stated in an interview, that she wished to be “a Queen of people’s hearts”. After her tragic death at the age of just 36, the then Prime Minister Tony Blair in a statement said “They liked her, they loved her, they regarded her as one of the people. She was the ‘People’s Princess.’ And that’s how she will stay, how she will remain, in our hearts and in our memories, forever.”

Here, we take a look back at the life and tireless charity work, that has made her loved by millions all over the world.

Posted on April 6, 2021November 2, 2021 by Emma Wilde

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her 95^th birthday this year on April 21^st, making her Britain’s oldest reigning monarch. This, together with what has been an incredible 69-year reign so far, makes her quite a remarkable presence and one that Britain will rejoice and celebrate in April this year.

In 1947, Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and the couple has four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. In 1953, Elizabeth was crowned and officially recognized as sovereign. Since then, the Queen has served in her role as the Queen of England, and in 2018, she became the first British monarch to reach a Sapphire Jubilee—a celebration to mark 65 years of her reign.
