West Lothian will join a global chain of beacons lit to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on Thursday.
While the council has not organised specific street parties or other events, schools will be closed on Friday and council staff given an extra day’s holiday to mark the anniversary and enable them to take part in community celebrations.
Many schools are also planning to use The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee event and celebrations as part of their curriculum programmes this academic session.
