Celebrations for the Queen’s historic Platinum Jubilee will centre on a festive four-day bank holiday weekend in June.
The royal extravaganza includes a live pop concert at Buckingham Palace, a carnival pageant on the streets of London, Jubilee lunches, and the lighting of beacons across the world.
A nationwide royal bake off competition to design a Platinum Pudding dedicated to the Queen is under way, while The Queen’s Green Canopy project has seen thousands of trees planted in commemoration of the monarch’s 70 years of service.
