Britain plans puddings, parties, military parade for Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years on throne

Britain will celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne with a military parade, neighbourhood parties and a competition to create a new dessert for the Platinum Jubilee, Buckingham Palace said on Monday.

Elizabeth will become on February 6 the first British monarch to reign for seven decades, and festivities marking the anniversary will culminate in a four-day weekend of events June 2-5.

It was not immediately clear which events the queen, 95, would take part in after doctors recently advised her to get more rest. The weekend, which includes an extra public holiday in honour of the queen, will begin on Thursday June 2, with Trooping the Colour – the annual military parade that marks the queen’s official birthday.
