A cheeky Arsenal fan seeking tickets for the FA Cup final at
Wembley resorted to desperate measures in a bid to see his team take on Aston
Villa.
Having seemingly exhausted other avenues of laying his hands
on a pair of ticket for the 30 May match, Charlie Pearce did what any
right-minded person would do, ask the Queen for her help.
Incredibly, desperate Charlie actually received a response
from Buckingham Palace.
"Dear Charlie, The Queen has asked me to thank you for
your letter," it promisingly began.
However, the letter from Her Majesty's Senior Correspondence
Officer went on to inform Charlie that the Queen was unable to provide tickets
for him or his friend Leo.
"I am afraid that this is not a matter with which Her
Majesty would be able to assist you. I am sorry to send you a disappointing
reply."
Whilst Charlie and Leo won't be going, the Queen's grandson
will be. Aston Villa fan Prince William is set to hand the winner the FA Cup
trophy.
Here's the letter in full...
Dear Charlie,
The Queen has asked me to thank you for your letter of 5th
May, telling Her Majesty how pleased you are that your favourite football team,
Arsenal, are in the FA Cup Final which will be held at Wembley on 30th May.
Your request for The Queen to help you get tickets for
yourself and your friend Leo Murphy has been carefully noted, however, I am
afraid that this is not a matter with which Her Majesty would be able to assist
you.
I am sorry to send you a disappointing reply. Nevertheless,
The Queen hopes you will enjoy the football match and I am to convey Her
Majesty's warm good wishes to you and to your friend Leo for the future.
Yours sincerely,
