The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations - When and Who


 The celebrations will be in the UK in June. Who will be there? My guess is that we shall see:

HM The Queen. (Not Prince Philip who is dead.)

Her son, Prince Charles. Camilla.

William. Kate. Their children.

Probably

Thomas Markle, father of Meghan.

Maybe, maybe not

Harry and Meghan. Their children.

Wikipedia has an extensive article covering all the events throughout the year not just in the UK but all over the Commonwealth. 





The tours of the Caribbean by William and Kate are part of the Platininum year when they are representing HM the queen who no longer flies.

Wiki says>

For the first time, Jubilee Beacons will be lit in every capital city of each Commonwealth country to mark 70 years of the Queen's reign.[13]

The Queen's Baton for the 2022 Commonwealth Games features a platinum strand along its length to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year in 2022.[14]

To commemorate the Jubilee, the Royal Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint partnered to create a two-coin set, with each mint designing a coin for the set.[15] The silver coin designed by the Royal Mint has an equestrian portrait of the Queen on the reverse and a royal mantle on the obverse. The silver coin designed from the Royal Canadian Mint has a reverse design that depicts the Queen in 1952, while the obverse has the effigy of the Queen used on Canadian coins since 2003.[16]

Members of the Royal Family will undertake a series of royal tours of Commonwealth countries to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.[17]

The Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey on 14 March reflected the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Year with a special focus on the role that service plays in the lives of people and communities across the Commonwealth.[18]
