People around the country are being treated to a four-day weekend this week to mark Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne.
According to the government’s March 2021 budget, chancellor Rishi Sunak set aside £28million of taxpayers’ money for the four-day event, with the Platinum Jubilee Pageant on Sunday costing £15million alone.
The government promises the money will be worth it, because it will be a “once-in-a-generation show”.
