Staggering cost of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and who pays for it

The nation is set to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee this weekend.

Large scale events are planned both nationally and locally, from June 2 to June 5, to mark the Monarch's 70 years of reigning on the throne. Her Majesty is Britain's longest-reigning monarch and will become the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.

To mark the historic event, the UK has a huge array of public events planned to celebrate including parades, street parties and an extra Bank Holiday. The events include star-studded ceremonies as well as Trooping the Colour and lighting beacons across the country.
