Newspaper print dress.
I have started my research by looking at newspaper print dresses. I typed newspaper print dresses in the search engine. I found a great dress that is designed by Forever unique. This is a one shoulder dress that has recently been put on sale. I predict that newspaper print fabric and designs are going to be around a lot more over the next few months. This print design was around in the late 90's, it was seen mostly on jeans and trousers. This fashion hype has definitely taken a full circle and is going to be coming back around to join us again.

Queen artwork.
Here are some beautiful pieces of artwork that was created by graffiti artists. I wanted to look at these kind of art pieces as graffiti is a more up to date way of creating and forming artwork and i wanted to have a different approach to artwork that is painted of the Queen. This is not the typical style of artwork that would be done of the queen.
Some of this work was created by graffiti artist 'Banksy' for the Diamond Jubilee.

The Diamond Jubilee.
When the Diamond Jubilee took place, the whole country when crazy about it. Magazines, papers, artists, designers, shops, the Queens face was everywhere. Everybody was taking part in this celebration. Here are some magazine prints and images of clothes and styling that adopted the style of the country's Jubilee.
The Diamond Jubilee.
The Diamond Jubilee took place in 2012, marking 60 years of The Queen’s reign. The Queen came to the throne on 6th February 1952 (her Coronation took place on 2nd June 1953). Buckingham Palace is responsible for coordinating the events of the Diamond Jubilee central weekend (2nd–5th June 2012), as well as for organising The Queen’s programme in her Diamond Jubilee year. The Queen visited different towns and cities throughout the country in the course of her Diamond Jubilee journey. This was the reason that the giant Queens were built. They would also take place in the town of Chester in a parade. Our Queen dress that we were constructing would be mounted on the giant queen to take place in the parade. I myself went to see the Queen on her parade through Warrington for her Diamond Jubilee when she visited Orford park. Here is a snap shot I got of Her Majesty and The Duke Of Edinburgh. I enjoyed going down to the park and joining the community for this wonderful celebration.
The Queen, her reign and our country.
Here is some background information about our Queen, her reign and our country that I have researched.
The Queen.
The Queen is Head of State of the UK and 15 other Commonwealth realms. The elder daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, she was born in 1926 and became Queen at the age of 25, and has reigned through more than five decades of enormous social change and development. The Queen is married to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and has four children and eight grandchildren.
The Queen's Early Life
The Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London.
She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. At the time she stood third in line of succession to the throne after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and her father, The Duke of York. But it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen.
The Princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. She was named after her mother, while her two middle names are those of her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, and paternal grandmother, Queen Mary.
The Princess's early years were spent at 145 Piccadilly, the London house taken by her parents shortly after her birth, and at White Lodge in Richmond Park.
She also spent time at the country homes of her paternal grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother's parents, the Earl and Countess of Strath more.
In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close.
When she was six years old, her parents took over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park as their own country home. In the grounds of Royal Lodge Princess Elizabeth had her own small house, Y Bwthyn Bach (the Little Cottage), which was given to her by the people of Wales in 1932.
Princess Elizabeth's quiet family life came to an end in 1936, when her grandfather, King George V, died. His eldest son came to the throne as King Edward VIII, but, before the end of the year, King Edward VIII had decided to give up the throne in order to marry the woman he loved, Mrs Wallis Simpson.
Upon his abdication, Princess Elizabeth's father acceded to the throne as King George VI, and in 1937 the two Princesses attended their parents' coronation in Westminster Abbey.
Princess Elizabeth was now first in line to the throne, and a figure of even more intense public interest.
During her reign, The Queen has reached important milestones in her personal and public life. Some of these have been celebrated publicly.
Such events help reinforce the Sovereign's role as a focus for national identity and unity as people across the Commonwealth come together to mark an important occasion for their Head of State.

British stamps.
Carrying on my research for British stamps, here are some more pictures of old and new British stamps. I looked at stamps as they have a picture of our Queen on them. I thought this was a nice extra touch to my research about the Queen. Stamps play a part in people's life's every day and are really important to our country.
