In honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 70th year as monarch, over 2,022 beacons will be lit across the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, UK Overseas Territories and one in each of the capital cities of Commonwealth countries for the Platinum Jubilee.
On the evening of Thursday 2 June 2022, beacons will be lit, continuing a long tradition in this country of celebrating Royal Jubilees, weddings and coronations with such lightings.
In an official statement, the Platinum Jubilee organisers say: "The beacons will enable local communities, individuals and organisations to pay tribute."
