It's the dream climax of the season for any football fan - watching your side in the FA Cup final.

And for one Arsenal supporter, failing to get a ticket in the usual way didn't stop him from going to the very top to try to get what he wanted.

When Charlie Pearce couldn't get his hands on a couple of the 25,000 tickets allocated to the Gunners for the big game, he wrote to Her Majesty the Queen to see if there was anything she could do to help.


The Queen has been to the FA Cup Final before - her very first football match was the 1953 Blackpool - Bolton Wanderers game, where Blackpool eventually triumphed 4 - 3.

After their victory last year, Arsenal are hoping to retain the trophy, but unfortunately for Mr Pearce, The Queen wasn't able to help him get to Wembley to watch their efforts.
However, he wasn't necessarily expecting the reply he received on behalf of Her Majesty, which said his request had been "carefully noted". Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the letter is genuine. See below for the full text.
