History is almost upon us as we gear up to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this June. From street parties and parades to afternoon teas and even ‘pooch parties’, there will be plenty going on in Greater Manchester to get involved in.
Queen Elizabeth II has sat on the throne and led the nation since February 1952. Earlier this year, The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee - an achievement marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth.
To celebrate the royal feat, we have been granted a national Bank Holiday on Friday, June 3. Better yet, the day comes after the Spring Bank Holiday on Thursday, June 2 which means that many will get to bask in the delights of a four-day weekend.
