It’s been a busy week for Irish designer Michael McGrath in the run-up to tomorrow’s coronation service at Westminster Cathedral in London.

Mr McGrath, from Co Galway, is head of design at Ede & Ravenscroft, the historic London tailoring company which dates back to 1689 and has produced royal garments for 12 British coronations and other monarchies throughout the world.
