Organised by Mrs. Janet Martin to celebrate the Wedding of Prince Charles to Princess Diana on the 29th July 1981 in St. Pauls Cathedral, London. As Prince Charles is also the Duke of Cornwall it was felt appropriate to organise a promotional model with the permission of Lesney Products and make it available to collectors after the wedding. The model originally sold for 3,75 GBP and it was agreed by the promoters that all profits from the sales of these models would go to the Mount Edgecombe Hospice in St. Austell, Cornwall, which specialises in the care of cancer patients.
