Today marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings. ‘Operation Overlord’, the D-Day invasion of Normandy by Allied forces on 6th June 1944.

To record and commemorate D-Day the RSN workroom was commissioned in 1968 to create an appliqué piece depicting the events leading up to and including the invasion through to victory in the Battle of Normandy in August in 1944.

Measuring 272ft the ‘Overlord Embroidery’ consists of 34 panels each 8 ft high by 3 ft long in size. It is 41 feet longer than the Bayeux Tapestry.

Although the piece was created over 25 years after the actual events the RSN sourced fabrics from the uniforms of that time to match the design as accurately as possible. More than 50 different fabrics were used and all elements were signed off by the MOD. It was very important that all the key people had the right ribbons for the time of the conflict and not ones they had achieved later.

It took the team of 20 specialist embroiderers 5 years to bring the designs of Sandra Lawrence alive.

The piece is on permanent display at

The Coronation – One Year On

With a year passing since the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla, we look back on all of the wonderful work completed for the historic event.

Anne Butcher, Head of Studio and Standards:

‘This time last year saw the end of what the most amazing time for the RSN Embroidery Studio, one none of us will ever forget.

The RSN Embroidery Studio was able to show our enormous range of skills and talent on nine pieces for the Coronation of King Charles III which included conservation, restoration and bespoke embroidery.

I feel truly honoured that I was part of this momentous occasion and part of the ongoing history of the RSN involvements with Coronations.’

Studio Manager, Gemma Murray:

‘I have such fond memories from my time spent working with our fantastic embroidery team on the nine special projects for Their Majesties Coronation this time last year.

It only seems like yesterday that we were all together at Hampton Court Palace, busy working on the pieces.
When I look back at what we achieved as a team I am immensely proud and excited that we were able to demonstrate to the world just how amazing the RSN is.’

Studio core team member Masako Newton:

‘It was an absolute honour to work on the pieces for the 2023 Coronation. I clearly remember the day the King and the Queen came to visit us at the RSN Embroidery Studio.

Out of nine pieces we worked on, my favourite is the Queen’s Robe of Estate, but the Anointing Screen is also very memorable.’

We are really excited to see the documentary at 6.50pm on BBC1 today titled: Charles III: The Coronation Year.

The programme goes behind the scenes to follow King Charles and Queen Camilla through landmark moments of the first year of their reign, and includes a visit to our Embroidery Studio!

We were delighted to welcome Their Majesties in March 2023 to show our work for the Coronation and it will be wonderful to re-live the magical visit through the documentary.

The RSN Embroidery Studio created nine pieces for the Coronation including Her Majesty’s Robe of Estate and The Anointing Screen.

Don’t worry if you aren’t able to watch it today as it will also be available on BBC iplayer.

On Thursday evening Anne and Noleen accompanied Gemma into the heart of the City of London where Gemma was a worthy recipient at the Worshipful Company of Girdlers’ annual prize giving event held at Girdlers Hall. Each winner was presented with a medallion by the Master Girdler Sir Thomas Crawley-Boevey Bt. in recognition of their talents and achievements. Gemma’s presentation was preceded by a short speech of support given by Philip Pirie who is well known to many at the RSN. All the worthy recipients and their supporters enjoyed a delicious dinner before happily heading home. A truly memorable evening and a truly worthy winner.
