The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Beacons
Lighting of beacons across the Commonwealth to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee
The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Beacons were lit on 2 June 2022 throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and British Overseas Territories and each of the capital cities of Commonwealth countries, in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.[1][2][3]
It followed the United Kingdom's long tradition of celebrating royal jubilees, weddings and coronations with the lighting of beacons.[1][2]
A Commonwealth Song was sung by choirs all over the world to coincide exactly with the lighting of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Beacons in all the 54 countries of the Commonwealth.[4]
