Susanne Dickinson, who runs Artemis Glass with her husband, Michael, said the windows took eight weeks to make, from design to creation.

"It is quite an honour to have designed something that will be around for hundreds of years," she added.

"We are looking forward to the event but we are very nervous. It's quite a thing to meet the Queen.

"We knew a royal would unveil them but we didn't know it would be the Queen."
