Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II

The Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II is being celebrated in 2022 in the Commonwealth of Nations to mark the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth 11 on 6 February 1952.

In the United Kingdom, there was an extraHoliday on 3 June and the usual spring bank holiday was moved from the end of May to 2 June to create the four-day Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend from Thursday, 2 June, to Sunday, 5 June. It is the first time that any Monarch in British history has celebrated a platinum jubilee. Initiatives to commemorate the jubilee were also announced by the governments of those other realms—including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica, and Papua New Guinea—of territories, , and of other Commonwealth nations member-states, like Gambia, Bangladesh, and Malaysia.

Commemorative stamps and coins were issued by several Commonwealth nations and beacons were lit in every Commonwealth capital for the first time. In many places, trees are also being planted in the Queen's honour.
