Weird royal wedding memorabilia just got weirder

Friday, 15 April 2011 4:20 PM

Do you remember back in February when I blogged that I had officially found the world's weirdest piece of royal wedding paraphernalia?

Well it just got weirder.

Here's a pic of the original item, a set of sliding doors adorned with those oh-so-cute faces, available from SpaceSlide.co.uk for £448 (also available in grey).

I thought that was a bit strange.

Then today, I received an email from the press team at SpaceSlide saying that they have added a new colour – red – to the collection. So far, so just-as-zany-as-before.

Here's the first image that was attached:

Picture two was still pretty normal (well, as normal as sliding doors with faces on them can be):

But it was with the third attachment that SpaceSlide really pulled out the big guns. Apparently, a chap called Jon Gough (no idea who he is) has been hiding in the closet for quite a while – but he's finally decided to come out.

Kate and William sliding doors with John!

Peepo Jon!

Brilliant. Just brilliant. And, I think you'll agree, wholly weird.

SpaceSlide is actually giving away a set of the red doors* to whoever can prove they have the biggest collection of Royal Wedding memorabilia.

Email a pic of yourself and your collection to info@spaceslide.co.uk to be in with a chance of winning what is quite possibly the most niche prize the nation has ever seen.

*Jon Gough not included.
