Margaret Tyler, 78, is a huge Queen fan and dedicated her entire home to the monarchy.
A grandmother from Wembley, London, who has met Queen Elizabeth II four times, described the 96-year-old as “a wonderful person”.
He started collecting royal memorabilia 40 years ago and quickly grew his collection, spending hours every day dusting off items.
Today, every room in her home is dedicated to the royal family, from the Princess Diana ceiling mural to the cardboard cutouts of Her Royal Highness and Corgi in various sizes.
His house is so majestic that passers-by often mistake it for a museum.
Margaret was devastated to learn of the Queen’s health, sending Her Majesty to say, “Madam, we need to be with you.”

“I was horrified to hear this news,” said the grandmother of four.
One of the things I dread every night before bed is getting a call in the middle of the night to tell me something happened.
“I will be devastated. I have always loved the royal family and will always love them.
“Miss, take care of yourself, we need you. We are here for you.”
Margaret was just eight years old when Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne, but she recalled being “heartbroken” when her father couldn’t watch TV without buying one.
He met the Queen four times, each time describing her as “very kind and sweet”.
She said: “I was like jelly after meeting him.
“The other day I ran all the way home to call my daughter.
“He was panting so hard he thought he was having a heart attack!”
Now that the Queen’s condition has been revealed, Margaret wants to find her sanctuary.
“If something happened to her, she would cry for a long time,” he added.
I grew up with him and love his work. Without him, everything would have been different.
“It could be the other way around and he could be fine. My mother lived through the good old days.”
“I can only hope and pray.
Whatever happens, he did a great job.
“It’s a wonderful memory he leaves behind.”
