Daily Star's biggest headlines straight to your inbox!A museum in Birmingham that's dedicated to coffins and death is looking to expand its team by hiring new tour guides.Founded in 1894, Coffin Works in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter was created when the owners realised that it was more lucrative to be in coffins than in cabinets.Before working on coffins, the Newman brothers were focused on cabinet fittings.

But later they became known for their coffin business, even supplying furniture and brassware, such as handles, plates and shrouds for the coffins of kings, queens and prime ministers, including George V, Queen Mary, Princess Diana and the Queen Mother.The museum is regarded as one of the most macabre museums in the country.

Order your copy from the Telegraph Bookshop.Just as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis set childrenswear trends now, from the day she was born – 21 April 1926 – parents around the world looked to little Elizabeth for inspiration.‘Many poor gentlewomen have profited by the Duchess’s order for fine lawn and muslin frocks, little bonnets and jackets, and all the delightful accessories of baby’s toilet,’ read one report, while her mother, then the Duchess of York, joined the debate about whether infants should be dressed in cotton or wool, coming down firmly on the side for ‘frilly babies’ in cotton over ‘little gnomes’ in wool.When Princess Margaret arrived in 1930, the Yorks became renowned for dressing their daughters in matchy-matchy outfits, said to be a deliberate strategy to maintain as much normality and equality between the girls as possible.In 1932, social commentator ‘Sylvia Mayfair’ declared that the Duchess of York was setting ‘a Royal fashion lead that will undoubtedly be followed by many mothers’.
