    You are quite right Baxter. Ah! I know. The Queen is getting smaller.

    But that is a wonderful view of the historic piece, which was missing from The Queen's Diamonds.
    I sincerely hope that the cockade will be exhibited before long and its history disclosed, with many pics of royal ladies wearing it, and parts of it.

    Edit: It might have had a jolly good clean. I wonder if this points to it being exhibited soon.



    Below, this official portrait (not the coronation) shows the entire cockade in the V arrangement.


    Queen Alexandra wore the three-piece cockade at her coronation.
