The four-day celebrations to mark the Platinum Jubilee kick off today, and the Queen urged Brits up and down the land to join in the bank holiday fun.
As people prepare for millions of street parties and an array of other events, the 96-year-old thanked the nation for keeping her “inspired” to carry on through the good times and the bad of her 70-year reign.
And she declared: “I know that many happy memories will be created at these festive occasions.”
