THE honeymoon destination of Charles and Camilla will be commemorated on a special plaque produced near Malvern.

Bronte Porcelain is making ten handpainted plaques showing Birkhall on the Balmoral Estate, in Scotland, where the newlywed royals plan to spend their first married days.

The plaques, which will be sold for £2,250, will be handpainted by Upton artist Tony Young.

Bob Price, managing director of the Hanley Road company, said: "It's quite a special commission. Apparently Birkhall is one of Prince Charles's favourite places."

The plaques will show the correct wedding date - unlike some other royal memorabilia produced before it was changed from today (Friday) to tomorrow, so Charles to attend the Pope's funeral.

"At the end of the day if a mug has the wrong date, it won't be worth a phenomenal amount," said Mr Price.

"People buying the plaques are going to spend lots of money and they want the date perfect and exact."

Mr Young's design will include highland cattle and will be based on the style of early 20th Century Royal Worcester Porcelain artists, such as the Stinton family and Harry Davis.

The plaques will also show royal coats of arms, for which Bronte Porcelain had to contact Buckingham Palace to get the correct details.

The company is already familiar with producing porcelain for royal weddings. It made a one-off commission when Prince Edward married Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999.

China retailer Goviers of Sidmouth commissioned the plaques and will be selling them to collectors.

The company's Nicola Skudder said: "We haven't yet advertised the plaques but they'll be taken up straight away by collectors. They'll sell within two days. Lots of people like this sort of thing."
