* * 2011 - Thank you to Anita-Lynn Studley from Nobleton Ontario Canada for supplying information about her Grandmother as being the First ever Britannia in 1911. The role was thought to have started in the 1913 Court before this information and photograph came to light. An article on this information can be found in the 2011 Gala Day Souvenir Programme
