FLAMBOYANT club queen Margo Grimshaw is painting the town red, white and blue to kick off the Jubilee after covering her ten-year-old Bentley with English flag stickers.

And people might have to take a double take if they see her out and about because she is joined by the Queen and Prince Charles -- cardboard cut-outs.

Margo, who owns a string of pubs and clubs in Blackburn, said: "I am going everywhere in the Bentley this week and people have been saying "good on you" for making an effort.

"We are hoping to have a street party and really get the celebrations going. Even if people just think for a second that it is the Queen, it will be fun.

"I think it is important generally to make an effort. This is an important milestone in the country's life and we need to tune into the fact that we are all together.

"It is time for us all to instill some pride in ourselves as a nation. We have done away with shame but we have taken away pride too and that is what keeps people going."

Margo also decorated a Rolls-Royce to celebrate the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana in summer 1981.
