I'm pretty certain that on one of programmes about the Queen's Castles it did show that they ARE real candles and that the shades are designed to rest on the wax and therefore move downwards as the candles burn away - 99.5% certain on that... But of course there is upper lighting as well as the table lighting, too. --Previous Message-- : The Daily Mail is an awful rag, but I must : give credit where credit is due: they have : fantastic pictures. : : I think the Duchess of Cornwall was the most : nicely bejewelled of all guests.
