Pageants, parades and a pop concert: How Britain will celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
The Daily Telegraph says Celebrations for the Queen’s historic Platinum Jubilee will focus on a festive four-day bank holiday weekend in June.
The unprecedented anniversary, the first time a British monarch has reached a Platinum Jubilee, was on Sunday, February 6, the date the Queen acceded to the throne on the death of her father George VI in 1952.

The royal extravaganza includes a live pop concert at Buckingham Palace, Jubilee lunches and the lighting of beacons across the world.
