The Queens Platinum Jubilee 2022 - What's On

This year, Her Majesty the Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after an astounding 70 years of service.

Across the local area (and the rest of the UK), many will be celebrating the historic weekend  – with a large array of events taking place. The Platinum Jubilee will commence on Thursday the 2nd of June, and will continue until the 5th of June. Below are the 2 BIG events happening nationally:

June 2nd - The Queen’s Birthday Parade (Trooping the Colour)

More than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will come together in the traditional Parade to mark The Queen’s official birthday, usually held on the second Saturday in June.

Beginning at Buckingham Palace, the Parade will move down The Mall to Horse Guard’s Parade, joined by members of the Royal Family on horseback and in carriages. The Parade will close with the traditional RAF fly-past, watched by The Queen and members of the Royal Family from the Buckingham Palace balcony.

June 4th - Party at the Palace

Some of the world’s greatest entertainers are billed to perform at the concert at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the most significant moments from the Queen’s reign. The Party will also include coverage of the lighting of the principal jubilee beacon.

June 5th - The Platinum Jubilee Pageant

The Platinum Jubilee Pageant will have all the excitement and spectacle of an international parade and carnival – awe-inspiring and filled with marvel and delight. The Pageant will combine street arts, theatre, music, circus, carnival and costume to celebrate Her Majesty’s unwavering duty, love of the natural world and dedication to the Commonwealth.

The Platinum Jubilee Pageant is inviting children from across the UK to play a part in the ‘River of Hope’ procession. Forming an important part of the Pageant, the procession will comprise of two hundred silk flags which will process down The Mall, emulating a moving river. Primary and secondary school children are invited to create a picture of their hopes and aspirations for the planet over the next 70 years. A selection of these creations will be transferred on to silk flags, which will carried by secondary school pupils. The ‘River of Hope’ section is being choreographed by Kinetika Bloco with music by one hundred young players from London and Edinburgh.
