JUBILEE BEACONS!

Monday, May 28th, 2012

The lighting of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Beacons will take place on Monday June 4, when over two thousand beacons will be lit across the length and breadth of the UK, the Commonwealth and other countries around the world. In 1897, Beacons were lit nationally to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee - the only other British Monarch to achieve a reign of sixty years.
