York confectioners to make special box of chocolates for the Queen
20.05.12
Ms Jewett said precisely which chocolate and sweets would be going in the casket was a closely guarded secret, but all three chocolatiers would be evenly represented across both layers.
The presentation ties in with the city’s first chocolate festival, which is being organised by Ms Jewett and it is hoped a replica of the box will go on display at the city’s latest tourist
attraction Chocolate – York’s Sweet Story, in King’s Square.
• As the Queen prepares to visit York to distribute Maundy Money and celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, The Press is preparing to publish a series of special Royal supplements and we want to hear from
readers about their own royal experiences.
Were you born on the day the monarch became Queen, or on the day she was born, April 21 1926? Perhaps you remember Coronation Day? Or, were you in York when the Queen last visited the Minster on
Maundy Thursday, in 1972? Do you have pictures of that day, or of your Coronation celebrations? If you are prepared to share your memories with other readers, email mike.laycock@thepress.co.uk or kate.liptrot@thepress.co.uk , or contact Mike on 01904 567132 or Kate on
