The Queen's Platinum Jubilee
The Queen's platinum jubilee bank holiday: a moment to celebrate the longest-serving monarch ever. As she woke on 6th February 2022, the spritely 95-year old Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor did something no other female monarch has ever achieved: a 70-year reign.
The Jubilee bank holiday weekend, Thursday 2nd June to Sunday 5th June 2022, marks 70 years to the day that Princess Elizabeth became Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
