The nation’s faith leaders have backed plans for beacons to be lit in tribute to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said the fires, which will light up the night sky across the UK and Commonwealth on June 2, will see people joining together in celebration and remind everyone of “our common bond under the Crown”.
He has been supported by senior clerics from eight faith communities – Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Zoroastrian and Bahai – who have congratulated the monarch as she reaches her 70-year reign milestone on Sunday.
