King Colin and crown pastries: the M&S coronation range

No comments

As the nation prepares to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, Marks & Spencer has joined the royal festivities with a range of treats fit for a king – or at least, a very hungry caterpillar.

Leading the procession is none other than a limited-edition Colin the Caterpillar adorned with a miniature crown, and for those who prefer a more bite-sized indulgence, fear not – mini “Colin-ations” are also available. And what’s a celebration without a toast? There’s M&S coronation English Sparkling Wine or even an ale from the 225 year-old Elgood’s Brewery.

So raise a glass to King Charles III as M&S ensures this isn’t just any coronation…
