Heathrow hands out coronation tags

Heathrow has released commemorative luggage tags to mark King Charles’s coronation.

The airport is handing out 12 000 of the tags to passengers until May 10, reports eturbonews.com

The commemorative tag was created by artist Morag Myerscough. Her design features different colours representing the diverse nations in the Commonwealth.

Myerscough says: “Instinctively I knew a bold colour-filled, joyful, positive approach to the luggage tag to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III and the start of a new era was going to be my approach. 

“I marked the day with ‘CR III 2023’ and on the reverse, depicting an abstract gateway to echo how Heathrow is the gateway to the UK and the world, welcoming people to start their adventures there and now to celebrate a new monarch.”

Nigel Milton, Heathrow Chief of Staff said: “Crowning a new monarch is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and these commemorative keepsakes will give our passengers the chance to remember the celebrations and that ‘I was there’ feeling.”

According to airport-world,com, the cards have been printed by Barnard & Westwood, the Royal family’s favourite stationer.
