Friday Finery: The Queen's beach hut

This week's entry is Queen Elizabeth II's pine beach hut, a short distance from the sea at Holkham in Norfolk (close to Sandringham) which featured double front doors and a brick chimney stack. It was also a favourite spot of the Queen Mother's (she walked the corgis on the sand) and Prince Philip's (he barbecued on the verandah and spent the occasional night in its bunkbeds). It sadly burnt down after an arson attack in summer 2003.
