YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS HOW YOU CAN PLAY A SPECIAL PART IN CELEBRATING HER 70 YEARS OF SERVICE
‘This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come together in celebration of a unique Queen’
It will be a summer of celebrations in 2022, as the Queen becomes the first British monarch to have reigned for 70 years. With spectacular displays of pomp and pageantry, a star-studded concert at Buckingham Palace and major community events and exhibitions all in the calendar, the monarch’s incredible milestone will be marked in style across the UK.
There are plenty of ways to get involved in the festivities, from creating a pudding fit for royalty to serving at your street party or visiting one of the Queen’s homes. You could also learn a specially composed song or design a flag to be paraded through the heart of London.
The anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the throne falls on 6 February and she traditionally spends the day privately. However, the following months will see several key occasions to pay tribute to her seven decades of duty, culminating in a four-day bank holiday weekend.
