Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II











Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee 2012


With Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee is fast approaching, marking the Queens accession to the throne on the 6th of February 1952 after the death of her father King George VI 60 years ago.

Queen Victoria has been the only monarch to celebrate their Diamond Jubilee previously. The Queens Golden Jubilee was in 2002 in which many a street party took place to celebrate.

2012 will be a fantastic year for the Royal Family with the Queens Diamond Jubilee, the London Olympics and Para-Olympics in which the Olympic Park in East London will be named the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. In March 2011, the Royal Commonwealth Society also launched the Jubilee Time Capsule to mark the Jubilee.
