The entire population of the Pitcairn Islands - 35 permanent residents - will make the Pacific Ocean territory the last place in the Commonwealth to light a beacon as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration later Thursday.
The beacon, which came on the last supply ship to the islands six weeks ago, will be lit during a dinner everyone in Pitcairn will most likely attend and contribute to, said Colin Leeman, administrator of the British Overseas Territory.
