Marks & Spencer are celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with the release of three commemorative shortbread tins.

The retailer giant, who will be releasing more merchandise in the coming weeks, have shared pictures of the special tins with information on where to buy them.

M&S have designed three tins in total, the first two are called the Limited Edition Collectable All-Butter British Shortbread Tin and come in two different colours and designs.

The red option has a crown printed on the lid, with 'Queen Elizabeth II 1952 - 2022' written in a bold font.

The blue has a more traditional design, with a postage silhouette of the Queen on the lid and 'Queen Elizabeth II - 70 Year Reign' written alongside it.

The third tin is an extra special item as it winds up, rotates and plays a celebratory tune.

The Limited Edition Collectable Rotating Musical Shortbread Tin comes filled with all butter Scottish shortbread and all butter strawberries and clotted cream shortbread.
