The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
The Platinum Jubilee will take place from the 2nd to 5th June 2022.
Whilst Her Majesty actually acceded to the throne on 6th February 1952, she felt that it would be better to celebrate in warmer weather, so the celebration weekend is timed to coincide with the anniversary of The Queen’s coronation.
A national programme of events is being planned and regular updates are on the website https://www.royal.uk/platinumjubilee
