Queen Elizabeth II lookalike poses with massive teabag - picture

As the Queen's Diamond Jubilee draws closer, we've seen an increasing number of great promotional photos hoping to benefit from some royal magic.

One of the best that has landed on our desk in recent days is this snap of professional Queen Elizabeth II lookalike Elizabeth Richard.



Her Majesty's namesake was at Royal Hospital Chelsea in London helping to launch a limited edition 60-person street party tea bag.

We're told that if you fancy one yourself - and have a big enough mug - then you can order a limited edition giant bag at the Tetley Tea Folk Facebook page.

That said, I can't see any mention of it there and I suspect this might well be a wind-up.

Either way, the picture certainly had us chuckling into our (normal sized) cuppa this afternoon.
