FROM SILVER TO PLATINUM: THE SPECTACULAR JUBILEES MARKING HER GLORIOUS REIGN PRIVA
HELLO! UK
|September 11, 2023
It was to be a four-day celebration to mark Elizabeth II's historic 70-year reign. But the Platinum Jubilee ended up becoming the nation's fond farewell to their beloved monarch.
-
A long weekend of unique and touching events was put together in June 2022 to pay a fitting tribute to Her Majesty who, despite her frail health at the age of 96, managed to make three memorable appearances.
Thousands gathered in London to witness the occasion, which included Trooping the Colour, a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, a concert at Buckingham Palace with acts including Diana Ross, Duran Duran and Sir Rod Stewart, and a star studded pageant along The Mall.
Few imagined this would be the last time we would see the Queen waving to her subjects.
HAPPY DAYS
