Pictured: Emma Telford inspects the dress during its restoration at her studio in Hereford.

A stunning maid of honour dress from the Queen's Coronation has been painstakingly restored and will go on display to mark her Diamond Jubilee.

The outfit, designed by the Queen's dressmaker Norman Hartnell, was worn by Lady Rosemary Spencer-Churchill at the 1953 Westminster Abbey ceremony.

It has a tiny 22ins waist, with a motif of gold leaf and pearl white blossom.
