Fox’s Union Jack sweets ‘in aid of Help for Heroes’

Sweet company Fox's Confectionery is showing its support for soldiers by creating a special product to mark the royal wedding.

Its limited-edition Union Jack glacier fruits have each been enclosed in wrappers bearing the UK's flag and one pence from each pack sold will be donated to Help for Heroes, the BBC reports.

Dave Martin, operations director, is quoted as saying: "The theme was always going to be red, white and blue."

The company has also introduced cloudy lemonade and raspberry and blueberry flavours to its product in honour of the upcoming nuptials between Prince William and Kate Middleton, to be held tomorrow (April 29th) at Westminster Abbey.

It has made 13 million sweets after seeing high demand for the product.

Final preparations are now being made for the royal wedding and many people are already camped out in the capital to watch the proceedings unfold on the official procession route.
