The streets were alive, our spirits soared,

Flags fluttering, with cheers we roared!

It was our new Queen's coronation,

I’ll start a diary, as part of the celebration.

I'll write of events, births and deaths,

Events of sorrow and events of mirth.

I'll do my best, I'm on a roll,

But holding my memories, that's my goal.

Dear Diary, we have a Prince,

Newspapers are rushing off to print.

Prince Charles is to be the Prince of Wales

But I’m not what that entails.

Princess Anne is just so sweet,

Her curly hair is such a treat,

She is Queen Elizabeth’s only daughter,

The Princess Royal is the new name for her.

Andrew, then Edward arrived soon after,

I imagine the nursery was filled with laughter.

I watch them grow from baby to youth,

The time flew past, to tell the truth.

Dear Diary, twenty-five years upon the throne!

We must have a party, of elegant tone.

We'll hang up the bunting and wave our flags,

I'll collect books and memorable mags.

Dear Diary, it's been fifty golden years,

Our Queen has known laughter, and cried a few tears.

She celebrates the jubilee in great London

With her husband and family, she can rely on.

Dear Diary, it's more than sixty years,

More than Queen Victoria's reign, I hear.

The longest ever reigning British monarch,

Here we are, she's hit the mark.

Silver, gold, and diamond jubilees,

Each milestone passed with all her family.

Marked by me with pretty tea parties

Ice-cream and strawberries in huge quantities.

Dear Diary, a change to my usual entry

The Queen’s dear husband missed his century.

The clouds all seem a little darker today.

The air filled with gloom, an air of dismay.

Hurrah Dear Diary, finally we’re here

Her majesty has reached her platinum year.

Celebrations planned, we’re filled with cheer.

Good health to the Queen and to another year.

Dear Diary, you’ve been my faithful friend,

But now I think we have come to the end.

My eyes are dim and I’m feeling weary.

I want to sign off when I’m feeling cheery.

For 70 years you sat on the throne,

From Mother to Grandmother so much you’ve grown,

With the Royal family, there by your side,

A Jubilee Queen, reigning with pride,

Majestic and Regal with your corgis at hand,

Ruling over the UK, with respect we stand,

And this year we celebrate the Jubilee,

In fancy dress and crowns as one community,

We come together as one happy nation,

As we join in for a big celebration!

At the age of twenty-five,

She was the youngest Queen alive,

Handed many responsibilities,

It was now her time to thrive.

On the second day of June in 1953,

The Coronation day arrived, for the whole world to see.

Across the British Isles, street parties were in full swing,

The people put up bunting and danced around with glee.

The horses and carriages trotted through the streets,

Queen Elizabeth was waving to the people that she greets,

The Queen took an oath and got anointed with holy oil,

She put on her regalia, which made her feel complete.

To celebrate seventy years of reign,

We will have street parties again,

The Platinum Jubilee is such a big achievement,

Where people have fun and may pop champagne!

Her Majesty the Queen is dutiful and loyal,

She loves her many animals and her corgis who she can spoil,

She is a patron to many charities too,

Our longest serving monarch, a really important royal.

God Save the Queen

You might have heard of the Queen’s jubilee, but what is everyone doing?

Would you believe that the Queen is the first British monarch to reign for 70 years?

The first Jubilee the Queen celebrated was her silver Jubilee.

This was followed by gold, diamond, sapphire and now platinum Jubilees.

To celebrate the Jubilee a cake competition was held. The winner would have made the official dessert.

The winning dessert was a lemon and Swiss roll amaretti trifle.

What is everyone else doing for the Jubilee?

Many people are hosting tea parties, entering competitions, watching parades going to London and much more.

What are you doing?

You may have heard of the Queen's Jubilee, but what is it all about?

the Queen's Jubilee is celebrated because she has been on the throne for 70 years.

Our school celebrated with a dress up day and we had a street party themed lunch.

What is A Diamond Jubilee?

A diamond jubilee celebrates the 60th anniversary of a significant event related to a person or the 60th anniversary of an institution's founding. The term is also used for 75th anniversaries, although the human lifespan makes this usage more common for institutions.

The Jubilee celebration is on Thursday 2nd of June.

Here are some photos of our school celebrating the Jubilee.

These are the winners of the dress up competition!

In 1952 Queen Elizabeth became Queen at age 25.

Queen's Jubilee 2022 By Alfie thompson

The platinum jubilee is when a king or queen is on the throne for 70 years!

It is such a huge achievement because no other monarch has ever done it.

The jubilee before the platinum jubilee is the diamond jubilee which is 60 years on the throne.

Our school is celebrating by having a party with street food and making bunting. We are also doing outdoor games.

Street parties are going to be massive in Belfast, London and Edinburgh because they are capital cities.
