SAVE THE DATE: The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Beacons





















The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Beacons
Thursday 2nd June 2022

Upchurch Parish Council is looking forward to another village gathering at the Beacon of Light Brazier to celebrate The Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, 70 years of service, having acceded to the throne on 6th February 1952.

An extended Platinum Jubilee Weekend bank holiday, from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June, will provide an opportunity for communities to come together to celebrate this historic milestone. The 4 days of celebrations will include public events and community activities, as well as national moments of reflection on The Queen’s 70 years of service.

Jubilee Beacons will be lit as part of the celebrations throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories. For the first time, beacons will also be lit in each of the capital cities of the Commonwealth countries.

Organiser Pageantmaster Bruno Peek LVO OBE OPR hopes to make it the largest and most dramatic chain of beacons lit during The Queen’s reign the world has ever seen.

Upchurch will play its part when we light our village Beacon at the Recreation Ground in Oak Lane on Thursday 2nd June 2022 at 9:45pm - details to follow.
