Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II celebrates Platinum Jubilee.

A Platinum Jubilee is a celebration used to mark a period of 7 decades (70 years).

Queen Elizabeth II was 25 years old when she began her reign on February 6, 1952. Since then she has been waxing strong and Britain has felt her impact.

To mark the joyous anniversary, various Platinum Jubilee celebrations will be taking place across the country. The four-day holiday weekend as declared by the state will include a wide variety of events
