Queen Elizabeth II was the UK’s longest-reigning monarch. People up and down the country respected and loved her, despite not being entirely on board with the monarchy. As such, her possessions and interests are still much cherished in the country even a year after her demise.

One such possession - a luxury golf cart was specially made for the Queen to enjoy the Chelsea Flower Show - is going up on sale at an auction later this month.
Queen Elizabeth II’s golf cart auction starts at £25,000
The auction will take place on August 25 at the Silverstone Festival, according to The Sun. The luxury gold cart was used by the Queen twice at the show and she only covered eight miles with it.
As such, a special version of this Garia motor’s high-end "Bride and Groom" Courtesy cart is expected to be fetched around £25,000 at auction. Iconic Auctioneers said:
The Courtesy is a multi-functional electric vehicle, designed and produced in Denmark.
It is the ideal vehicle to transport guests around private areas in style.

Princess Anne’s 1989 Middlebridge Scimitar up for auction
Apart from the late Queen’s royal motor, another much speedier royal motor will be up for auction this month. Princess Anne’s 1989 Middlebridge Scimitar in which she was pulled over for speeding is also going up for auction.
The auctioneer said:
At some point during this period, she was enjoying No.1 down the Fosse Way when she was pulled over for speeding by a local officer.
Amazingly, having let her off, and reminded her of the local laws, he was then forced to pull her over the very next day for the same crime.
No.1 became the most recognisable car in the country for a day or two at least.
This former Princess Anne’s car was loaned to her after it caught her eye at its launch. She placed an order but was loaned a first-edition prototype during production delays. The Scimitar has covered just 50,500 miles and has a top speed of 140 mph. This is also expected to go around the same price as the late Queen’s golf cart.
