- The only surviving item of clothing worn by Queen Elizabeth I has gone on public display for the first time ever, right here in the City of London - and as we've been finding out, it'll likely only ever be on display for the next six weeks.
It features alongside 200 other fascinating artefacts, made from way back in the 1500s through to the modern day.
The exhibition celebrates the work of one of the City's historic guilds, part of a wider move by the City of London Corporation to champion the square mile's history in order to thrive in the 21st century.
We went along to the Guildhall Art Gallery to hear from some of those involved in this exhibition.

- A huge day in British-American history was marked by the River Thames on September the 27th marking 250 years since British ships left for the American colonies of the British Empire carrying East India Company tea - which would ultimately be destroyed in protest upon the ships’ arrival in Boston in December i.e. The Boston Tea Party!
The events sparked the American Revolution, all because of some fury over a British tea tax.
The events been more politely recognised in 2023 as The East India Company donated 250lbs of tea to Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum to make its way to be dumped in the Boston Harbour on the 16th of December, like it was in 1773.
