A PLANNED celebration of the monarchy has prompted a search for royal memorabilia.

Groundwork West Durham is appealing to the public to donate photographs or written memories for an exhibition celebrating the life of the Queen Mother and the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

The exhibition will be staged at the Discovery Centre in Bishop Auckland Market Place, County Durham.

Exhibits can be handed in at the Discovery Centre, between 11am and 4pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays or contact James Lowther on (01388) 662666.
