On 6th February this year Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth.

To celebrate this anniversary, events and initiatives will take place throughout the year, culminating in a four-day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June.

The bank holiday will provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the historic milestone.

Avid royalist Gloria Bell said: “It truly is a momentous occasion and something well worth celebrating throughout the year.” The four days of celebrations will include public events and community activities, as well as national moments of reflection on The Queen’s 70 years of service.
