So yes everybody knows about the Royal couple....but what I just saw on BBC's news website(yes at 5 in the morning!) is that The Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled collectors' coins to mark the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
A 20 Canadian dollar ($20.86; £12.78) silver coin has a sapphire-coloured crystal inlay, meant to symbolise the ring the Prince gave Ms Middleton. (The photograph on the right)And a 25-cent coin features a colour portrait of the couple.(The photo on the left)
Mint chief executive Ian Bennett called the wedding later this month "a priceless opportunity to celebrate Canada's pride in royal tradition".
The coins "will give Canadians, royal watchers and collectors everywhere exceptional keepsakes by which to remember this historic event", he said in a statement.
The coins will be sold at Mint shops in Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver, online, and elsewhere.
The couple are to marry on 29 April and plan to travel to Canada two months later, on their first official overseas trip as a married couple.
They will visit Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and the capital, Ottawa.
The best part is that I am going to be in London the day Prince William and Kate Middleton tie the knot....I can't wait to see London all "dressed up" for the occassion....it's going to be so pretty!!! And if possible I may buy one of these coins as a souvenir!!! A good memory that will be to have.....
Anyway...nice to start the day with such a happy news!!!
And guess what, another great news....there is a serial killer on the roam in the streets of New York now-a-days...just thought I'd mention it as an addition to my previous blog! This is so going to help me sleep at night now..especially when I have my exams coming up in 2 days...
Bugger.
I like this post... Shagun!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know, I was/ am a hhuuuugggeee 'Princess Diana' fan!! - I'd watched the whole sequence of 1981 'fairy-tale' wedding of 'Lady Spencer' (as she was then!) and Prince Charles on our 'Black and white' T.V.!! Oh, it was amazing!!
And, though not exactly the 'best' bit... but I was in U.K. when 'Princess Diana' had had that fatal 'crash' in Paris.... For 3 days... non-stop... I was glued to the Tele... The 'out-pouring' of 'grief' by the 'English' and the 'world' over was UNBELIEVABLE!! And, yes, every bit of 'news'.. related to the Queen's and Prince Charles's 'move' and 'words' were 'followed' with a frenzy that one cannot even 'imagine'!!
She REALLY was... 'People's Princess'!!
And, it's GREAT... to know - ever since the news came of Prince William marrying Kate Middleton - that - after a lloooonnngg time - a 'scene' of 'joy' is going to 'erupt' in London...pretty soon! They make a fabulous 'couple' and I'm sooo happy to see them 'together'!!
LUCKY YOU!!!... :)
As for the 'NY'...serial-killer...Hahahaha... if you can find 'humour' in the situation, babes, it's an indicator that the 'fear' has beaten a retreat!! - So, I'm sure you're gonna have a sound sleep from now on... and Hey... CONCENTRATE, YOUNG LADY... ONLY ON YOUR 'EXAMS' for now... :)
Have a lovely evening!!
Take care!
