Jesus' Christmas Party.
A little girl is looking forward to the Queen's visit to her school -- and wonders what knickers Her Majesty will choose to wear! Will they be her 'at home' knickers - adorned with corgis -- or her garden party knickers, or perhaps her woolly Balmoral ones?

Recently, the Queen visited a nursery in Norfolk and enjoyed a display based on the book:
"...just to make it special, there was one element that was not quite so traditional: pants. These were not just any pants, either. They were the Queen's Knickers, and at Dersingham Infant and Nursery School, in Norfolk, they were put on special display in honour of their royal visitor" Valentine Low, The Times
