The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrated with a spectacular display of lights, connecting Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace and beyond.

In a remarkable tribute to her 70-year reign, the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee has been marked by the lighting of thousands of beacons across the UK and the Commonwealth.

The celebration began with Her Majesty herself activating the illumination of the Commonwealth of Nations Globe at Windsor Castle. This stunning display of light created a symbolic river, extending all the way to Buckingham Palace. There, the Duke of Cambridge observed the illumination of the Tree of Trees sculpture, which glowed brightly in honour of the Queen’s remarkable milestone.

This event, part of the nationwide celebrations, reflects the Queen’s enduring influence and her connection to the wider Commonwealth.
