JUBILEE EVENTS


​The Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II is being celebrated in 2022 throughout the Commonwealth to mark the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II on 6 February 1952. The celebration plans were formally unveiled in full by Buckingham Palace on 10 January 2022.
​
In the United Kingdom, there will be an extra Bank holiday, and the usual Spring bank holiday will be moved from the end of May to the start of June, to create a four-day Jubilee bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2 June to Sunday 5 June.

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". This is the first time that any British Monarch has celebrated a platinum jubilee.

As an Ex-Servicemen's Club, we are extremely happy to be helping arrange and publicise a variety of events in Sutton, Langley and Lyme Green which will be held over the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend.
