The Queen's Platinum Jubilee is almost here and many people will be marking the festive four-day event. The momentous occasion marks 70 years since Her Majesty's accession and is being celebrated with an extra bank holiday on Friday, June 3.
The spring bank holiday, which usually lands on the last Monday in May, has been moved to Thursday, June 2. It means the UK gets an unexpected, long weekend.
From public events to street parties or just a get-together in the garden, many people will be marking the unprecedented anniversary. A big part of these celebrations is the decorations, with Jubilee bunting proving a popular choice.
