Queen to be presented with silver brooch and lace scarf

THE Queen will be presented with one of her favourite types of jewellery in Cork today — a stunning hand-crafted silver brooch.

Queen Elizabeth will also be presented with a contemporary lace scarf to mark the role her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, played in founding University College Cork (UCC).

Lord Mayor Cllr Michael O’Connell will, on behalf of the people of Cork, present the Queen with the one-off brooch, created by the city’s most famous silversmiths, during her visit to the English Market.
