The Diamond Jubilee

On 2 June 2012 Her Majesty the Queen will celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. To mark the 60 years since she came to the throne in February 1952, a remarkable river pageant and a Service of Thanksgiving will be staged in London. These highlights capture the unique spectacle and pageantry of these landmark events on a momentous day. Includes The Diamond Jubilee River Pageant where over a million people will line the banks of the Thames, as decorated craft of all descriptions bring the river to life in a joyous and colourful display accompanied by chiming bells, spectacular fireworks and a naval gun salute. Also includes highlights from the service of thanksgiving at St Pauls Cathedral as well as the magnificent pomp and pageantry of the royal carriages return journey, the appearance of the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony and the RAF flypast.
