QUEEN Elizabeth II is coming to Blackpool next month and a royal procession has been planned especially for her arrival.

People will be able to meet her, sit next to her and even get a picture with her. 

Sadly, it isn’t the real Queen who is coming to visit but a waxwork replica for Blackpool wax museum, Madame Tussauds.

The new lifelike figurine of Her Majesty will be making her home in the attraction on October 14.

There will be a royal procession for her arrival which kicks off at 9:30am outside the iconic Blackpool Tower on the promenade.

The figurine of the queen will be arriving at 10am to a rendition of the National Anthem before Her Majesty moves into her permanent home at the museum.

After this October date, visitors will be able to visit the wax figure during their trips to the museum.

Madame Tussauds already has a wax replica of the queen which stands next to fellow royals, William and Kate.

The is first wax figure was unveiled in 2012 to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

 

 

However, this new wax figure will be sitting down so visitors will be able to sit next to the Queen for their photograph.

A spokesperson said: “We are ready to welcome Her Majesty the Queen at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool.”

The Queen isn’t the only notable was figurine at the museum, with Ant and Dec, Olly Murrs, Joanna Lumley and many more featured in the building.

Tickets for the museum start from £17.50 and can be purchased online.
