If you're already sick of hearing about the Royal Wedding, you're definitely going to need one of these come April the 29th.

Graphic designer Lydia Leith has screen-printed souvenir sick bags that are selling for just £3.

 

The first, limited edition, batch of 'Throne Up' bags - perhaps unsurprisingly - sold out almost immediately.

 

'Throne Up': Lydia Leith's sick bags are emblazoned with a picture of the happy couple and a warning to keep the bag handy on April 29th

 

The bags are available in pillar-box red, or royal blue, from the artist's website. Lydia ships worldwide and promises that order will reach their buyers in time for the big day.

Wedding memorabilia is sat to make around £26million - despite Palace officials trying to crack down on souvenirs.

They banned branded tea towels way back in December. Earl Peel, who heads up the Royal household, said: 'We want items that are permanent and significant.'

So you can assume they won't think much of Lydia's addition to the memorabilia market.

 

 

 

Commemoration: Each bag has an illustration of William and Kate in the outfits they wore when they announced their engagement to the press

 

Each bag has an illustration of William and Kate in the outfits they wore when they announced their engagement to the press.

Under the picture, a warning reads: 'Keep this handy on April 29th 2011'.

 

Lydia told the Huffington Post: 'The bags are just a bit of fun, a sort of antidote to the hysteria surrounding the wedding -- I'm not an anti-monarchist in the slightest!

 

'It started out as a joke around the dinner table and I made them expecting to sell a handful to friends and family but it seems there is a much greater demand.'

 

Lydia added, 'I'm a fan of Royal memorabilia myself and I just thought it would be a lighthearted addition to what's available to commemorate the day.'

A butcher, barman and estate agent: But no room for Blair and Brown on the Royal Wedding guest list

Snub: Former Labour prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are not invited to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton

 

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have been snubbed in the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, due to take place this Friday at Westminster Abbey.

By contrast, both their Conservative predecessors, Sir John Major and Baroness Thatcher have been invited. Lady Thatcher declined for health reasons although Sir John will be at the ceremony.

It's the first controversy to arise after the full list of invitees emerged which includes celebrity friends the Beckhams and Elton John as well as the postman and pub landlord from Kate's home village.

 

The apparent reason for the snub is that the two former Labour prime ministers are not Knights of the Garter, unlike the two former Conservative prime ministers.

The Order of the Garter is the country's highest order of contribution to national life and is conferred by the Queen. Lady Thatcher was given the honour in 1995 and Sir John in 2005.

 

The full list of guests attending the historic occasion include comedian Rowan Atkinson, a close friend of Prince Charles, and singer Joss Stone, who performed at the memorial concert for Diana in 2007 - and whom William is said to have had a crush on during his brief split from Kate.

Other VIPs include Princess Victoria of Sweden and her former personal trainer husband. The prime minister of Australia Julia Gillard, who is known for her republican views, and her boyfriend Tim Mathieson, a hairdresser turned estate agent, have also made the cut.

 

 

Not on the list: Gordon Brown and Tony Blair have missed out on invitations to the Royal Wedding...

 

 

 

... but the prime minister of Australia Julia Gillard, known for her republican views, and her boyfriend Tim Mathieson, a hairdresser turned estate agent have been invited, along with Basil Charles (right), owner of Mustique's Basil's Bar

 

The postman and pub landlord from Kate's home village of Bucklebury, Berkshire will be attending Westminster Abbey on Friday along with Basil Charles, a bar owner who is part of the Middletons' 'Mustique set'.

During his time as prime minister, the relationship between Mr Blair and the Palace was known to be strained. His wife Cherie Blair refused to curtsy to the Royals and Mr Blair was embroiled in controversy over the arrangements surrounding the funeral for the Queen Mother in 2002.

 

Mr Brown's dealings with the Royal Family were said to have been less tense but more formal.

More than 1,000 of the 1,900 in the congregation at the abbey will be friends – who have been given the best seats.

 

William and Kate's immediate families and close friends from St Andrews University, where they met, will have the best view. Close to 500 of them will be seated in the North Lantern and the North and South Transepts and Stalls, which have unobscured views of the Sacrarium where the couple will exchange their vows.

While protocol has dictated that members of Foreign Royal Families and Crowned Heads will be seated next to the Royal Family in the South Lantern, the couple’s friends are spread out.

Many will be seated in the North and South Stalls which have also been reserved for representatives of the Church and members of the Cabinet.

Who fucking cares about it, honestly?, did I really just see a seating plan making the news?, I swear if I see one more line of Bunting flags I'm going to lose it.

Sounds like you need one of those official Royal Wedding sickbags................. :rolleyes:

I do not know if I have time to watch TV it falls on April 29 and I have to sell my clothes, my shoes, evening dresses very little unused (the clothes of my youth) to boarding school St - Charles in my town. called flea markets.

I pay my rent invoices and to eat with this money :(

 

but it's surely a great and beautiful wedding royal for all the people. everyone talks about on TV and by the people :dazzled:

WOW!!! Prince Charles has over 250 friends...

 

 

 

 

 

 

EVERYONE GET EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like most people in this country I'm not overly obsessed with the Royals as they are quite a dysfunctional family but nor am I some ignorant republican as I see massive benefits to the Monarchy as it preserves our democracy and brings in more money to this country in tourist money alone than we pay into it. As for William he is a fantastic role model for the Royal Family. He is incredibly charitable and isn't afraid to get stuck in. He seems a very normal bloke in amongst a not so normal family. Oh and the above post is absolutely correct. It is very heat magazine the storm over this wedding is. I mean if it's a bank holiday I won't be watching it. History never bothers with weddings of big figures in society so why should it start now? Besides it's a bank holiday I'll watch a DVD or something!

 

good idea for my part, watching fantastic series, I loved....... :cheesy: :heart:

i think i will be watching it or at least something of this.

WOW!!! Prince Charles has over 250 friends

 

Only on Facebook, those aren't REAL friends.

 

Oh and I'll be watching this, I mean in the poll option I picked Yes :D but I wouldn't really say it's a :D, but I probably won't be doing anything much better so I'll put it on, if something great happens live and I miss it I'll be kicking myself.

 

This said the snooker will also be on, I think it's into the semi's by that stage so if it's at a crucial point of the match then I shant be watching the royals.

A Palace guard has been banned from the Royal Wedding parade for making vicious online rants about Kate Middleton after she apparently 'snubbed' him.

 

Scots Guardsman Cameron Reilly, 18, also said he had 'attacked a black man' while on leave in his home town of East Kilbride near Glasgow and fantasised about shooting Jews while on duty.

 

He called Miss Middleton, who is due to marry Prince William at Westminster Abbey on Friday, a 'stuck-up cow', adding: 'Who really gives a f*** about her?'

On his Facebook page, Reilly wrote how he felt insulted by Kate when she and Prince William drove past him last month.

 

He wrote: 'Her and William drove past me on Friday and all I got was a s****y wave while she looked the opposite way from me, stupid, stuck-up cow. Am I not good enough for them! Posh b****. Who really gives a f*** about her?'

Reilly, who joined the Army last year, was to be among several hundred Scots Guards involved in the wedding celebrations on Friday.

 

They will line the route of the Wedding procession for the newlyweds from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace.

 

He is regularly one of the soldiers who patrols outside the palace in iconic red tunic and bearskin hat, much beloved of tourists.

 

 

 

 

Reilly, who joined the Scots Guards last year, was due to be one of many soldiers involved in the Royal Wedding next week

 

 

 

Reilly also posted anti-Semitic views on his Facebook profile and described London as a 'Paki holding cell'

 

 

 

'A boozer not a thinker': Cameron Reilly posted obscene messages about Kate Middleton on Facebook

 

Commenting on his Facebook page on one such patrol, he wrote: 'Watching a massive Jew gathering at the Tower of London! Have never seen so many rabbis in my life.

A pal replied: 'Get the rifle out...'

Verbal attack: A Scots Guardsman posted vitriolic messages on Facebook calling Kate Middleton 'stuck up'

 

He also described London as 'a Paki holding cell'.

There are a number of photos on his public profile including one of Reilly in combat fatigues and a beret holding rifles.

 

He is also pictured in a baseball cap clutching a bottle of Buckfast fortified wine and kissing a vodka bottle.

 

He lists his activities and interests as foot drill, Household division and infantry - all related to his training as a Guardsman.

 

Other interests include 'causing trouble' and super-strength lager.

According to The People, a soldier, who asked not be named, said: 'He's a big boozer and not what you'd call a thinker. He downs Buckfast fortified wine and likes raucous nights out.

'He joined Facebook last year and started posting bizarre things. He doesn't engage his brain before he types.

 

'These stupid comments could not have come at a worse time for him. Serving at the Royal Wedding is a huge honour. He has been incredibly naive.'

A spokesman for the Scots Guards said they were investigating the claims

the Royal Family have a Scots Guard anti-Semitic and alcoholic is strange :thinking:

It's not the remarks against Kate Middleton that get me about that guy it's the anti semitic and racist ones. Pure scum of the country. No surprise seeing the insignificant piece of shit holding a Buckfast bottle either.
