Here at RadioTimes.com, we consider ourselves somewhat experts in merchandise and memorabilia, but even we have been surprised by this event.

We've seen everything from this £350 collectable pottery crown (so popular that it had a collector's presale before it was available to the general public) to this knit-your-own tea cosy in the shape of King Charles III in his coronation uniform, which we have to say we rather fancy. Long live the tea cosy!

If you're planning on spending time with friends and family over the bank holiday weekend, there's also lots out there to make it an event to remember. You'll find table decorations, tea towels, mugs and even edible treats to enjoy over the days off.
