Queen lookalike to host champagne reception in Wimbledon

Meet the 'Queen' aka Mary Reynolds at Elys next week
Hot on the heels of the Queen’s historic first visit to Mitcham last week, Wimbledon shoppers will be able to catch a glimpse of her - albeit just a lookalike.
Mary Reynolds, a dead ringer for Queen Elizabeth II, will meet and greet customers at a champagne reception on May 30, at Elys in Worple Road, Wimbledon.
The department store is holding a Shopping Event and Fashion Show in which the fake Queen, and a beefeater who holds the world record for vocal endurance, will appear courtesy of Raynes Park agency StarTurn Entertainment.
Ian Turner, Elys marketing manager, said: “StarTurn is providing some great entertainers for our special jubilee event and I can’t wait to meet ‘the Queen’.
“It is going to be a spectacular day for our customers with great savings and entertainment.”
The champagne reception begins at 6.30pm before the fashion show at 7pm.
