Illustrated London News, together with the Royal Warrant Holders Association and the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST), raise a glass to Her Majesty to celebrate the launch of The Illustrated Platinum Jubilee

Illustrated London News, the publisher behind SPHERE, celebrated the launch of The Illustrated Platinum Jubilee in the Library of The Reform Club in Pall Mall. Hosted by Chief Executive of ILN Lisa Barnard, the elegant invitees raised a glass of Louis Roederer to the new publication and to the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty The Queen's accession to the throne, and admired the Club's forthcoming Platinum Jubilee exhibition. ILN collaborated on the event with the Royal Warrant Holders Association and The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST). A portion of all sales of the new publication, on sale now nationwide and in U.S. for £7.99, will be donated to QEST to support the training of craftsmen and women.  Many thanks to all those who attended and to our generous sponsors Champagne Louis Roederer.
