The Diamond Jubilee.

The Diamond Jubilee took place in 2012, marking 60 years of The Queen’s reign. The Queen came to the throne on 6th February 1952 (her Coronation took place on 2nd June 1953). Buckingham Palace is responsible for coordinating the events of the Diamond Jubilee central weekend (2nd–5th June 2012), as well as for organising The Queen’s programme in her Diamond Jubilee year. The Queen visited different towns and cities throughout the country in the course of her Diamond Jubilee journey. This was the reason that the giant Queens were built. They would also take place in the town of Chester in a parade. Our Queen dress that we were constructing would be mounted on the giant queen to take place in the parade. I myself went to see the Queen on her parade through Warrington for her Diamond Jubilee when she visited Orford park. Here is a snap shot I got of Her Majesty and The Duke Of Edinburgh. I enjoyed going down to the park and joining the community for this wonderful celebration.
