I feel bad for her. With Covid, Harry and Meghan leaving and Phillip sick it's not going to be much of a celebration.
 
The Platinum celebration is not until June 2022.
 
Well Meghan and Harry aren't coming back, Covid is not going away and Phillip isn't going to get younger.

And not February?

No, The Queen hardly or never celebrates the date (6th February) she ascended to the throne. She often spends the day remembering her beloved father George VI. Yes, there may be politicians or royal family's social media account mentioning her ascension to the throne on that day, but there is generally no celebration.

The Platinum Jubilee will be celebrated in a four-day long weekend (2nd-5th June), where the late May's bank holiday would be move to Thursday 2nd June and an extra bank holiday is added on Friday 3rd June.

Most of the Jubilee celebrations in the past has happened in early June, as the anniversary The Queen's coronation on 2nd June 1953. Another reason is the better chance of a good weather compared to February.

While the anniversary of the Queen's accession is usually marked in some way in her Jubilee years the main events always take place in June around the date of her coronation service. Its been mentioned before that the Queen sees the accession date as a sad day as its the day her father died, thus she likely prefers to have any big celebrations on a "happy day" rather than the anniversary of her fathers death.

On the plus side, England has announced its plan out of lockdown and to a return to 'normal life' which looks to be around June and the plan is for every UK adult to be vaccinated by July this year. I'm sure by next summer even if there has been some flare ups in winter there will be a a more normal summer. I think the Queen and RF may actually be looking forward to something positive to be honest.
 
I am hoping we get to see a Commonwealth tour undertaken by various members of the family as we have seen in previous jubilee celebrations.

I am sure if the Queen is able she will complete her own UK focussed tour during her jubilee year
 
I know the topic of Platinum Jubilee might be too soon after Prince Philip's funeral. The Times has released an article that The Queen and even Palace staffs are reportedly focusing on the Platinum Jubilee after royal mourning of Prince Philip. The article itself did not release new information on the Platinum Jubilee itself, but rather on plans when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

I hope to be there, as well. :flowers:
 
Sounds good, a bit of a mixture of the last two Jubilee events (without River Pageant! hehe).
 
Assuming Australia's borders are open and we are able to travel by then (not a given as our Treasurer said, a few weeks ago 'mid-2022' which could be July or even August) I should be there. I should be there now but everything been put back to next year.
 
Let's hope the service at St Paul's forms part of a great big coach procession to & from BP like in 2002.

Might as well pull out all the stops.?
 
Tatler has released an article revealing more details on the Platinum Jubilee with "all-singing, all-dancing pageant that promises to be the definitive celebration, ‘a sensory explosion’".

Ambition for the upcoming event, celebrating 70 years of Her Majesty’s reign, has ‘never been higher’ and the occasion will be part-ceremonial pageant, part all-singing, all-dancing carnival

I quite like the official emblem for The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, from the purple colour, the font to the "continuous platinum line" (with 70 and the Crown).

Congratulation to Edward Roberts! A very well deserved winner! ?

I completely agree a wonderful design and a very deserved winner.
 
Really well done by this design student! A well-deserved winner (although other design's might have been really good as well of course).

ITV has released an article, written by Chris Ship on the celebration of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee. This includes 2022 Royal Windsor Horse Show that "will culminate in a 90-minute event in the grounds of Windsor Castle as the country begins the big celebrations of the Queen’s 70-year reign".

Lucky enough to live in Windsor, so this is the event that I'm going to - front row tickets!
 
I hope we have great celebrations similar to those we had in 2012 when the Queen celebrated her Diamond Jubilee.

Hopefully. Except, as BP has already noted, without the "biblical rain".
