A summer of celebration is set to take place at the Queen's holiday home in Scotland to mark her Platinum Jubilee.
The Balmoral Castle and Estate are set to reopen this Friday (April 1) as part of plans to recognise Her Majesty's 70 years on the throne.
Home to the Royal Family in Scotland, the estate in Deeside, Aberdeenshire has been owned by them since Prince Albert purchased it for Queen Victoria in 1852 after she fell in love with the area.
