Queen of KNITTING

Nonagenarian Brit Margaret Seaman has the royal family in stitches - thanks to her incredible knitted tributes!

Norfolk's crafty Queen of Knitting created a 3D woollen Buckingham Palace for the coronation, having previously completed a majestic Sandringham House that won the approval of Queen Elizabeth II.

Margaret, 93, met the late Queen when she was setting up the 2.4m x 1.5m knitted model in the ballroom at the country estate.

"I had no idea she was coming," she tells Woman's Day. "She stayed a quarter of an hour, walked all the way around and talked about the different things. It was really a highlight in my life."

Princess Anne was also impressed when she laid eyes on the model at the Royal Norfolk Show. Margaret also met Queen Camilla, who presented her Champion Knitter of the Year Award at a ceremony in London.
