Supporting Otford's planning for the
Queen's 2012 Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

Princess Elizabeth became Queen on 6 February 1952, and was crowned on 2 June 1953.

Minister in charge of the celebrations records:

"The Queen has reigned through some of the most profound and breathtaking changes ever to have taken place in our history. So it is absolutely right that The Queen’s achievements - her hard work and dedication across this extraordinary time - be celebrated by all of us, both in this country and across the wider Commonwealth".

National celebrations start in May 2012 and then focus on the long weekend from Saturday 2nd to Tuesday 5th June, including 2 bank holidays.

This section draws together background to help Otford plan its own, community-wide contributions.
