History
Certificate of Authenticity includes the following text written by Sir Nicholas Young: 'In her Coronation Year, Queen Elizabeth became patron of the British Red Cross, carrying on the proud tradition of Royal service to the world's largest independent humanitarian organisation. This fine bone china, produced as a numbered limited edition of 500 cups, honours that fifty-year commitment. Its design is a modifcation of the Queen's Badge of Honour, the highest decoration the British Red Cross can bestow and was chosen not only to honour Her Majesty's continuing commitment but the service to vulnerable people by generations of volunteers.'
