Buckingham Palace reveals 4 day bank holiday weekend for Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

Buckingham Palace has revealed details of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations next June.

Trooping the Colour will be held in full for the first time since the pandemic on day one of a special four-day Bank Holiday weekend from 2-5 June.

Other celebrations include a live concert at Buckingham Palace, called the Platinum Party at the Palace.

The events are being held to mark the Queen’s 70-year reign.

She will have reigned for 70 years on 6 February 2022, making her the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.

Like the Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilees, the first week in June has been chosen for the celebratory weekend, with the summer offering a better chance of good weather than February.

On the second day of the Bank Holiday weekend a Service of Thanksgiving for the Queen’s reign will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral.

The following day will see the Queen joined by members of the Royal Family at the Derby, held at Epsom Downs.

The live concert will take place that evening.

There will also be year-long Platinum Jubilee celebrations throughout the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and around the world, Buckingham Palace said.
