North Texans wanting to sample a true flavor of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubliee need look no further than Grapevine.
Since 1992, UK expat Sheela Bailey has owned and operated the British Emporium. Bailey, who has attended jubilees for Her Majesty in the past, said it was especially wonderful to see the Queen looking well as she enjoyed Thursday's 70-plane flyover in her honor from the balcony at Buckingham Palace. The Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years on the throne for Queen Elizabeth, continues through Sunday.
Bailey's Grapevine shop is stocked with official Platinum Jubilee souvenirs, which are a hot seller with local Brits and with Texans who simply are fans of the Royal Family. She said the most popular items are bone china mugs honoring the Queen for her lifetime of service.
Bailey talked with KRLD's Chris Sommer.
