A shop has fitted three men for their special meetings with the Queen this year.
Richard Marks menswear shop in Wallington fitted Eric Nicholls MBE, Alan Woodiwiss MBE and Andrew Colver OBE in the space of a few weeks during March and April for their ceremonies with the queen.
The owner of the family run business which began in 1962, Tony Rowland said: "It was a great honour and privilege to be able to dress three people for the Queens commendations - over a few weeks between March and April of this year.
"Since then we have done a few more.
"Today we are considered to be one of longest established menswear businesses in the South of England.
"We have a good customer base covering many miles. As a retailer we stock top brands from all over the world and have a successful wedding and evening hire business."
