Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II

The Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II is expected to be celebrated in June 2022 in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth[1] to mark the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II on 6 February 1952.[2] In the United Kingdom, an extra bank holiday will be created and the traditional May bank holiday weekend will be moved to the start of June, to create a special four-day Jubilee weekend.[3] The British government has promised a 'once-in-a-generation show' that will "mix the best of British ceremonial splendour and pageantry with cutting edge artistic and technological displays".[4] So long as Queen Elizabeth remains on the throne until 6 February 2022, this will be the first time any British monarch has celebrated a platinum jubilee.[5]

Carly Ledbetter, writing in the Huffington Post, suggested that the fact that planning for the Platinum Jubilee was underway meant that any rumours that Elizabeth was planning to step down when she reached the age of 95 in 2021, in favour of her son Charles, were false.

Brits around the UK have been invited to plant a tree in honour of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

The project, known as the Queen's Green Canopy, will see communities, charities, councils, cities, businesses and landowners unite to plant healthy native trees that will thrive.

Led together by Cool Earth, the government and The Woodland Trust, the planet-friendly initiative has been praised for being a "fitting way" to mark the first time a British sovereign has been on the throne for seven decades.

The Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II marked the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the thrones of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms. It was celebrated with large-scale parties and parades throughout the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth throughout 1977, culminating in June with the official "Jubilee Days", held to coincide with the Queen's Official Birthday. The anniversary date itself was commemorated in church services across the land on 6 February 1977, and continued to be for the rest of that month. In March, preparations started for large parties in every major city of the United Kingdom, as well as for smaller ones for countless individual streets throughout the country.
