Thousands of Royal Jubilee memorabilia plates have an awkward typo and could be worth £291,000

Thousands of pieces of Royal Jubilee memorabilia have gone on sale despite containing an awkward typo. The pieces of misprinted souvenirs are up for grabs on a clearance website, where they are being touted as perfect for fans of both the Queen and Del Boy.

Instead of Platinum Jubilee, the plates say “Platinum Jubbly”. Oops. A Chinese manufacturer produced the 10,800 tea cups, mugs and plates to mark the Queen’s 70 year reign, but failed to notice the spelling error in the word Jubilee during production.

The Wholesale Clearance website says: “You will notice this is probably more at home on the shelf next to Peckham Spring as these are in fact celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubbly. “These are…as you say…the Creme de la Menthe!

So if you are a fan of the Queen and Del Boy…two birds with one stone.” Only Fools And Horses character Del Boy, from the classic BBC sitcom, is known for his “Lovely jubbly” catchphrase and his dodgy money-making schemes.
