M&S diamond jubilee knickers? I can give you worse memorabilia

Never since Jeremy Paxman railed against the inadequacies of men's pants a few years ago has so much attention focused on Marks and Spencer's underwear output. This morning the high street retailer is launching in its (serious face) Marble Arch boardroom a new range of underwear (slightly less serious face), the M&S jubilee lingerie collection.

Does anything express your patriotic royal pride than wearing royal knickers, ideally over your union flag leggings? The question was rhetorical. Are you imagining size zero lingerie models disporting themselves on the boardroom table in sensible bras and big pants made from royal purple fringed with corgi fur? Well stop that – treason remains a capital offence, sonny.

Astoundingly, the jubilee lingerie collection isn't the apex of absurd memorabilia. Here are some other contenders.
