N E E QU As The Queen prepares to celebrate 60 years on the throne, we put together a bit of history about Her Majesty as well as a guide to how you can get involved in the Diamond Jubilee The Queen has been on the throne for 60 years, and to celebrate, we are throwing her the biggest party she could ever imagine … it’s called The Diamond Jubilee. Have you heard of it?

I thought so. Well, in this extra special edition of Primary Times, we have loads of information about The Queen, The Diamond Jubilee and loads of special events that are going on around our region.

The Queen came to the throne on February 6 1952 (that’s a long time ago) when her father, King George VI passed away. Queen Elizabeth II was just 25 years old. Can you imagine that, becoming Queen of England at just 25 years of age? Not only is she Queen of England and Head of the Church of England, but she is also Head of State for 15 Commonwealth realms. Now, The Queen

www.primarytimes.net 4

WHITSUN 2012 ISSUE

is 86 years old and still has the same difficult job of ruling our country, although she now has four children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Due to her father’s sudden passing, Princess Elizabeth had to abandon her trip to Kenya and fly back to England as Queen. Although she technically assumed the throne the day her father died, she did not have her official coronation until June 2 1953.

A lot has happened during The Queen’s reign.

The television, the computer, the microwave oven and the Frisbee have all been invented, man has walked on the moon, and we have danced to the Beatles, Bananarama and Justin Bieber. Queen Elizabeth has also seen 12 Prime Ministers, 16 Olympic Games and nine X Factor judges! She has certainly lived a full and complete life. Now it’s time for the next chapter.

Want to help The Queen celebrate her Diamond Jubilee? Here’s some ideas on how you can get involved …

Celebrations in Derbyshire In association with East Midlands Reserve Forces & Cadets Association Derbyshire, the flags will be out, the picnics will be in full flow and the celebrations a plenty in honour of our great Monarch.

Market Place will be laid out with Union Jacks everywhere with the Big Screen showing highlights of the Jubilee Pageant on the Thames, London. For more information on what will be going on in Derbyshire, visit www.derbylive.co.uk

The Jubilee Pageant is to be held on Sunday June 3 along the River Thames where more than a thousand boats will form a procession between 2pm and 6pm starting at Battersea Bridge and finishing at Tower Bridge. Rowed boats, working boats and vessels of all shapes and sizes will be beautifully dressed with streamers and Union Jacks with crews turned out in their Sunday best. To read more about the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant, visit www.thamesdiamondjubileepageant.org.

We are having our very own Jubilee Pageant in the Midlands, in Birmingham on Monday June 4, where revelers will be dressed in 1950s vintage costumes or national dress from countries of the Commonwealth and will walk from the Bullring to Victoria Square.

DON’T FORGET The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh will be travelling around the UK to mark the Diamond Jubilee. Her Majesty and His Royal Highness, supported by other members of the Royal Family will be visiting as many people as possible, and they are making a stop in the East Midlands from June 13-14. Are you excited? We certainly are!

Keep up to date with where they will be and when at www.primarytimes.net/derbyshire

www.primarytimes.net

The Big Jubilee Lunch will take place on Sunday June 3. The Big Lunch is an Eden Project enterprise organised to encourage people from all across the UK to have lunch with their neighbours. Do you know your neighbours? Well, maybe this is the perfect time to get to know them. A Big Lunch doesn’t have to be big; it can take place in the street, garden, park or community centre – anywhere people can get together to share a spot of lunch. Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall has become the Patron of The Big Jubilee Lunch, which is very fitting as the original Big Lunch idea came from Cornwall.
