Supermarket giant ASDA has issued an apology after it launched a range of matching £8 Jubilee dresses for mums, aunties, sisters, grandmas and daughters. The supermarket says the dresses have been so popular, they sold out in 'record time'.

But they clearly proved popular ahead of the long bank holiday weekend, with shoppers complaining on Instagram about them being sold out online already. George at Asda posted a picture of the dresses to its 727k followers this week and said: “Twin in dresses fit for Queens. Prices from £8!” But frustrated shoppers commented about being unable to get hold of them.
Sarah_b104 said: “I missed this! Gutted”. Clarke.nicky added: “Pointless out of stock”. And hayley.worthington added: “Every single size out of stock. So this is a pointless post isn’t it!”
Responding in the comments, George at Asda offered an explanation and said: “Sorry folks, you loved the dress so much it sold out in record time!! The team are working hard to get more sizes available online. It may be worth checking in your local ASDA store”.
Many people loved the look of the dresses, while others were quick to tag friends and suggest they bought the dresses for Jubilee parties. Nylah18 posted two heart eye emojis and said: “how cuteee”. And Wongfamilytravels added: “Ooh I

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorJohn Lydon — a.k.a. Johnny Rotten, lead singer of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. — has written a brief and to-the-point editorial for the U.K.’s Times that ranges from his thoughts on the royal family to his wife’s struggle with Alzheimers, from Danny Boyle’s new biopic “Pistol” (which he fought legally) and his early struggles with fame.While the London-born Lydon, who has lived in Los Angeles for decades, courted controversy in recent years with statements in support of former President Trump, the editorial finds him as direct and unsentimental as ever.Yet the most striking statements are him effectively contradicting the world-shattering statements he made in the Sex Pistols’ first two singles, which laid the template for much of punk rock’s ethos: In it, he says “anarchy is a terrible idea” (defying the group’s first single, “Anarchy in the U.K.”) and “God bless the Queen,” which reverts the withering sarcasm of the group’s second single, “God Save the Queen” (“and the fascist regime”) as Britain observes Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

One member of the Royal Family who was watched closer than others was Meghan Markle after she was finally reunited with her in-laws and the so-called "firm" following her Oprah Winfrey interview.
