On 2nd June 2022, we will celebrate another unique milestone in our history, Her Majesty The Queen’s 70th year as our Monarch and Head of the Commonwealth – her Platinum Jubilee.
It is a feat no previous monarch has achieved.
More than 2,022 beacons will be lit throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories, and one in each of the capital cities of Commonwealth countries in recognition of The Queen’s long and selfless service.
The beacons will enable local communities, individuals and organisations to pay tribute to her as part of the official Platinum Jubilee Weekend of celebrations from 2nd to 5th June 2022.
The Queen will lead the lighting of the beacons with this unique ‘tree’ style beacon ( pictured ) at Buckingham Palace, she will light it from Windsor Castle.
Beacon lightings in Rushcliffe and across Nottinghamshire can be found on these articles.
