A BRADFORD tailor enjoyed socialising with the Royal Family at a Buckingham Palace tea party.
Imran Khan owns IK Collections on Westgate in Bradford city centre.
His garments have been worn by the likes of Captain Sir Tom Moore, politicians Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, as well as Dancing On Ice judge Christopher Dean.
Last year, King Charles III even donned a handmade jacket produced by Mr Khan.
At the event, Mr Khan conversed with the King's niece Princess Eugenie - who was apparently impressed with what he was wearing.
The Bradfordian wore a dazzling blazer, which took him three months to create, when he attended the tea party on Tuesday, May 21.

"She was very impressed with my jacket.
"It took three months to make."
