LONDON (AP) – The United Kingdom (UK) will celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’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 yesterday.
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 wasn’t immediately clear which events the Queen, 95, would take part in after doctors recently advised her to get more rest.
