Wendy wrote her challenge as "With the passing of the queen this last week, how about doing a shot of how the monarchy (and Britain) changed the world, or the role it plays today"
I had no idea how to go about this, with the current issues around imperialism, colonialism and wokeness.
As I type Her Majesty will be shortly leaving Buckingham Palace for the final time (PLEASE no photos of this from the TV on 365- please!!!) and I am aware that businesses, souvenir companies and the media around the world are already gearing up for King Charles III's coronation, providing employment making commemorative tatt to be sold across the planet.
I therefore give you a commemorative mug for every crowned monarch over three centuries.
Victoria Jubilee 1897
Edward VII Coronation 1902
George V Coronation 1911
George VI Coronation 1937
Elizabeth II Jubilee 2012
Elizabeth II mug only one not presented to school children by the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth
This is a great take on the challenge - and one that was open to many interpretations.
I like how you left the last box empty - to show that the monarchy will continue.
Well done and a FAV!
A broad challenge and I can understand the difficulty in determining an apt subject for a photo. The mugs are fascinating; the old ones look in good shape and are antiques.
@randystreat they were MiL's family's and now treasured by us @bkbinthecity thank you @haskar it's something for the kids to sort one day!! @pcoulson thank you so much Peter, I "agonised" over how to present my challenge in today's climate @jacqbb it's very delicate @wakelys never got around to getting a 70th Platinum mug room for a Doulton coronation one though to gather dust @will_wooderson I could, but not from these ( Ham's one has a huge crack! Not as good quality as Victoria's it would seem @grammyn and a bit of silver her colours this year @365anne thank you so very much
@farmreporter such a difficult challenge, got the composition brain cells going, then photo skills ( I tried to spotlight them!) Athen Affinity skills. I'm so glad you like it!!
Not sure how I feel about seeing this on pp next to a photo taken of HM's coffin, quickly snapped ( plagiarised?) off a TV.

We are on Vancouver Island for a funeral today - left on Thursday - so will not be able to do your challenge on time but will tag you when I do it.
(I know what I want to do but ran out of time before heading for the Island on short notice)
