What is a Platinum Jubilee?
The Platinum Jubilee commemorates 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Queen Elizabeth II has been the only British monarch in history to reach this anniversary.
While the Queen reached this milestone on the 6 February 2022, festivities will take place around the anniversary of her actual coronation.
While Queen Elizabeth II succeeded her father King George VI to the throne on this date, February is a month of remembrance and mourning for the Queen.
When will the Queen's Platinum Jubilee be celebrated?
The celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee will commence on the first weekend of June 2022.
This is due to the fact there is a chance of better weather for the celebrations. As well as this, the month of June is the same month as Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Consequently, June has been officially selected as a time to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee.
When is the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday?
The Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday falls on the 2, June 2022.
As celebrations begin on a Thursday, an additional day will be added to the celebrations, meaning a four-day weekend will take place to mark the 70 year anniversary of the Queen's reign.
