9 right Royal baking memories from South Tyneside as we get ready to bake for Her Majesty
We are celebrating some great Royal news which has emerged. People all over the country are being urged to bake a pudding which would celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Anyone aged over 8 can enter the competition in which the winner will be made available at Big Jubilee Lunches in June.
