Queen looks ahead to Platinum Jubilee

December 26, 2021 / 9:15 AM
Sharjah24 - Reuters: Britain's Queen Elizabeth looked ahead to next year's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in her annual Christmas broadcast on Saturday (December 25).
Her upcoming Platinum Jubilee year starts in February and will mark her 70 years on the throne. She is the longest-reigning monarch in British history, having overtaken her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria in 2015.

She said she hoped the jubilee would be a chance for people "to give thanks for the enormous changes of the last 70 years, social, scientific and cultural, and also to look ahead with confidence".
