    These are the 4 brooches that I suspect were presented to The Queen by the Sultan of Oman

    Scotland




    Wales



    Northern Ireland




    England




    What do you think ?

    Cheers!

    : I have read on the "from Her Majesty's
    : Jewel Vault" site that some information
    : has come to light regarding he provenance of
    : the Three Thistle brooch worn most recently
    : by HM at the Commonwealth games. They
    : state:
    :
    : "the Press Association reported that
    : it was one of a set of four pins given to
    : her by the Sultan of Oman; it would be
    : natural to guess that the other three pins
    : might represent other parts of the United
    : Kingdom, though this was not detailed."
    :
    : It got me wondering... what are the other 3.
    : Here is my best guess:
    : Ireland - the Shamrock brooch (with emerald
    : ribbon)
    : England - The Tudor Rose
    : Wales - The Daffodil (from Welsh Rugby
    : portrait)
    :
    : Sorry I do not have access to my photos but
    : I will post some later on today.
