Around four in five Brits (78%) are looking forward to the Coronation weekend, with interest peaking among young people (aged under 25) – as 83 per cent look forward to witnessing a Royal Coronation for the first time, a survey has shown.

The Delicious Dessert Company, part of Bakkavor Group, said young people are most likely to be enjoying the historic event this weekend at home with family and friends. Nationally, 35 per cent of young Brits looking forward to the Coronation will be watching the event on TV and 34 per cent say they are looking forward to some sweet treats and tea party goodies as they enjoy the event with loved ones. A further 20 per cent will be enjoying street parties with neighbours, while 15 per cent will have a tea party with the family in the garden.

When it comes to favourite cakes and tea parties, the top flavours for this special weekend include: salted caramel (28%), triple chocolate (21%), chocolate orange (20%) and strawberries and cream (19%).

The Delicious Dessert Company has launched a celebratory King of Eclairs dessert to support the nation’s tea parties and family gatherings this weekend. The double-filled chocolate éclair comes with rich chocolate mousse and luscious caramel cream, topped with chocolate fondant and a royal gold sparkle.

“Whether people are out and about, at a street party or enjoying the weekend at home with loved ones, The King of Eclairs is a perfect treat for the weekend and continues our ethos of re-inventing classics with a modern twist,” Claire Smith, head of insight at The Delicious Dessert Company, commented.

Jameson teams up with Admiral, for a tracksuit modelled by Kyle Jameson

Irish Whiskey brand Jameson has been the English Football League's (EFL) main spirits sponsor for two seasons and is deeply entrenched in all aspects of the league, including player sponsorships. It has now signed up with Admiral to celebrate both brands' association with the beautiful game. They have worked closely together to create a full retro-inspired tracksuit in Jameson’s signature green, featuring key elements from Admiral’s world-famous designs for team performance wear, to create a slouchy royal green trackie ready prepped for pubs, presents, party games and freezing cold five-a-sides this Christmas.

“Jameson shares a history rich with the beautiful game, so teaming up with an iconic heritage brand like Admiral felt like a natural fit, with the results speaking for themselves,” said Josh McCarthy, Brand Director for Pernod Ricard UK. “A classic tracksuit, from two classic brands, to look sharp after the match when buying your mates a round of Jameson, Ginger and Lime. Nostalgia is everywhere at the moment and growing up in Leicester, there was no shortage of Admiral tops in the park and at the local football clubs.”
