The QTvan is so named because it caters to three peculiarly British obsessions: queuing, tea and caravans. As well as a 19″ television on which to watch the ceremony highlights, and a drinks cabinet with which to toast the happy couple, the tiny caravan boasts tea-making facilities – essential for a royal day out.
