This weekend sees the start of the 'Clean for the Queen' campaign, encouraging Brits to pick up litter in preparation for Her Majesty's 90th birthday in June.
Despite being backed by a number of politicians including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, so far it has failed to gain much traction beyond being ridiculed.
It's even been described as 'Tory Britain at its worst'.
The website behind the campaign says: "When she came to the throne litter was not the problem that it is today.
"Food packaging, plastic bottles, takeaway meals and cigarette butts have all contributed to a growing menace that affects our wildlife, streets, countryside and sense of pride. What better way could we show our gratitude to Her Majesty than to clean up our country?
"We are calling on individuals, volunteer groups, local councils, businesses and schools to do their bit. You can start now and also take part in our Clean for The Queen weekend on March 4th, 5th and 6th 2016. Please register your interest here and we will help you to Clean for The Queen. "
