Janet Williams with her huge collection of British Royal family memorabilia, Sydney, Australia - 22 Feb 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by M & Y Agency Ltd / Rex Features ( 1288518i )
Janet's Royalty Rooms
Obsessed Janet Williams has topped off the world's biggest collection of royal family memorabilia - by building life-size models of Kate and Wills.
Janet, 62, spent three weeks perfecting the models, made from chicken wire and wadding, to add to her 20,000-strong hoard of regal keepsakes.
The couple, who marry on April 29, will now join Charles, Diana, The Queen and Prince Philip around Janet's kitchen table.
Janet, from Sydney, Australia, has also shelled out GBP 4,000 pounds on plane tickets for her and husband Philip to return to the UK for the Royal wedding.
Grandmother Janet said: "When I heard they were getting married I started making the models.
"My eldest daughter Teena started sending me all the Kate and Wills stuff she can find from England.
"As soon as I found out the date of the wedding I booked the tickets home.
"I can't wait to get back, get involved and be part of the party atmosphere.
"I would give anything to actually make it to the wedding. I wish I had written to the palace but it is to late now.
Mum-of-two Janet's crazy collection began in 1954 when she was just five and her mum bought her a commemorative mug to celebrate The Queen's visit to Oz.
She has since spent tens of thousands of Australian dollars on the souvenirs, even knocking down walls at her home to make way for her ornaments.
Janet and Philip even had to move to a larger four-bedroom house eight years ago because their collection was too large for their former residence.
Retired Janet, who emigrated from Britain to Australia when she was two, said: "I was one of the children who got to wave the union jack as The Queen's car drove past.
"I remember chasing the car. That day has stayed with me forever.
"After that it became an obsession. Whenever I went to a market if ther...

New scanning techniques allow expectant mothers to hold a life-size model of their unborn baby, London, Britain - Jul 2009
FULL FEATURE LINK: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/4c1o
An amazing new scanning technique allows expectant mothers to hold a life-size model of their unborn child.
The technology sees data from ultrasound, CT and MRI scans converted into 3-D models which can then be 'printed' as a plastic representation of the developing baby.
Jorge Lopes, a Brazilian designer, developed the ground-breaking technique for his PhD at London's Royal College of Art.
Some applications for the method, called rapid prototyping, could be to allow blind mothers to bond with their babies or aid case management of foetal malformation.
Dr Lopes' new way of combining all the various scanning techniques has excited medical experts, including Heron Werner MD, who said: "I don't know whether I am looking at science or I am looking at art".
One stunning example of the technique is a realistic skeletal depiction of conjoined twins in the womb, their positioning making them look as of they are hugging.

An amazing new scanning technique allows expectant mothers to hold a life-size model of their unborn child.
The technology sees data from ultrasound, CT and MRI scans converted into 3-D models which can then be 'printed' as a plastic representation of the developing baby.
Jorge Lopes, a Brazilian designer, developed the ground-breaking technique for his PhD at London's Royal College of Art.
Some applications for the method, called rapid prototyping, could be to allow blind mothers to bond with their babies or aid case management of foetal malformation.
Dr Lopes' new way of combining all the various scanning techniques has excited medical experts, including Heron Werner MD, who said: "I don't know whether I am looking at science or I am looking at art".
One stunning example of the technique is a realistic skeletal depiction of conjoined twins in the womb, their positioning making them look as of they are hugging.

They Are Barbie Girls, In A Barbie World...
THEY ARE BARBIE GIRLS, IN A BARBIE WORLD...
Schoolgirls Sammy Burns and Megan Barton made a memorable entrance to their prom when they were wheeled in dressed as lifesize Barbie dolls still sealed in their boxes.
The 16 year old best friends wanted to arrive in an original form of transport and did not want to fork out for a more traditional stretch limo or a black cab.
When Sammy's mum came up with the idea of the Barbie doll boxes the girls immediately agreed.
They made the 6ft high boxes out of crisp packet boxes, reinforced with layers of wallpaper and pink paint with the help of Sammy's graphic designer uncle.
In just a fortnight, they fashioned the boxes to look just like the cardboard and plastic packaging the real Barbie dolls are sold in.
Painted pink with a daisy design on the perspex front cover, they even had barcodes, price tags and the Barbie doll makers name Mattel painted on them.
On the night of their school leavers' prom, the boxes were dropped down over the girls' heads.
They were then wheeled to the entrance of the hotel venue by Sammy's uncle Glenn Lawrence, 38, and her brother Tom Burns, 18, dressed as delivery boys.
In case the girls overheated inside the colourful creations, they each had a small fan, a bottle of ice cold water to drink and air holes in the top.
Their friends from Wyvern Technology College, Fair Oak, Hants, rushed to take photos as the girls made their unique entrance.
Sammy's mum Debbie Burns, 44, came up with the idea of the Barbie boxes while looking at pictures of other proms.
The business manager said: "Sammy and Megan wanted to do something really different for their prom entrance.
"They didn't want to go in a limo because a lot of people have done that before. We'd been thinking o...
