Tributes have today been paid to a master baker who made celebration cakes for almost every Royal occasion, after he died aged 91.
Eddie Spence's renowned icing skills earned him the chance to decorate nine cakes for major royal events during his 71 year career.
These included Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981 and Queen Elizabeth's Silver and Golden Jubilees in 1977 and 2002.
He also decorated the cake for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's Golden Wedding anniversary 50 years after he beat the eggs for their wedding cake as an apprentice baker in 1947.
