HM Queen Elizabeth II 1953

 
Lullingstone Silk was used in the coronation robe of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
As a commemorative, The Companion Book Club commissioned a silk bookmark, the tassle
of which was made from the same Lullingstone silk.
This bookmark was mounted inside a specially design fold over cover. Images of the
front and back covers are shown at the foot of this page, whilst immediately below is

This picture version is recorded on this site as Queen Elizabeth II Coronation (cash-picture0395).

As descussed above, the Companion Book Club version of this bookmark was issued in a folder, the front and back covers of which are shown below:
