Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Help! I need a Queen!

On Friday, we're having a bit of fun at South Harringay School to mark the Queen's Jubilee. Thing is, we need a Queen. Duties include waving, judging a crown competition and nibbling cucumber sarnies while saying 'How Do You Do'. If there are any actors out there willing to donate some time to queening it up for about an hour from 3.15 on Friday, please let me know. 

Also we need some queenlike gear (see below for inspiration) to borrow or accept as a donation. QE2 seems to favour pearls, big brooches, tiaras, big 'wedding' style hats and crucially white gloves and a handbag. We also need an 'old lady' white wig. If you can lend/give us any of those things, please let me know. I can collect if you are on the Ladder/Gardens or within walking distance of Warham.

Finally, if you've got any spare bunting or union jack decorations you could donate, we'd love to take them off your hands.

Thanks!

Which queen d'ya mean?  The one in the foreground in the lemony beige? Or the one in the golden cope thing trying to cope with the old couple behind?

I've got a wonderful yellow Dior 60s two-piece with Queen Mum style cut arms in the wardrobe.. Also got a fab handbag encrusted with jewels ..  But I'm too far away..

You wouldn't believe, Steve, how hard it is to get a handbag and a tiara in Harringay. Surprising really...

Worse, Stephen. Friends and cousins. But it would've been a nice touch for Liz's queenly garb to arrive via Hanover and the other Waterloo.

I think you were digging - no? I was at the Bundeskanzleramt last Tuesday an hour or so before M. Hollande .. could have given Angie's press secretary or Angie herself the said handbag to take with him/her ..
