Mark Anderson, a sand artist who works with Curb, has created a sand castle for the Queen. Based on the designs for Windsor Castle, the sculpture is correct down to the tiniest detail. It's so close to the original, that Prince Phillip pointed to a room and remarked, "That's where I take my morning tea."
This piece was commissioned by Weymouth Council and was created to celebrate the royal visit to the area.
But what a missed opportunity for some targeted marketing. There were large crowds at the beach to see the Queen's visit. After the royal inspection it would have been easy to unveil a small sand plaque announcing a discount for visitors to the real castle. Or 2 for 1 on trains to Windsor. Or special offers on hotels or restaurants in Windsor.
