Buckingham Palace has revealed a list of festivities planned for 2022 to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

This year, Her Majesty the Queen is celebrating her 70th year on the throne. This is the first time any British royal has celebrated the platinum jubilee.

In honor of the special occasion, the palace has revealed a long list of events, running from January to July.

Proceedings will begin with a “Platinum Pudding” contest on January 10, where members of the public will be invited to create a dish to be dedicated to the Queen’s reign.

“To mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, a nationwide baking competition is taking place to find a new dessert dedicated to the Queen,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

Submissions are open to UK residents aged 8 and over, and five dessert finalists will be selected to a panel including former Great British Bake of Dam judge Mary Berry and Buckingham Palace chef Mark Flanagan.

A three-day celebration will take place from May 12 through May 15, including a 90-minute show at Windsor Castle, featuring over 500 horses and 1,000 artists, where audiences will be taken on a journey through the spanning royal history of Elizabeth I. And to this day.

Next is Bank Holiday on June 2, when the annual Queen’s Birthday Parade, known as Trooping the Color, will take place. The parade will take place at Horse Guards Parade, and the parade will include the 1st Battalion, Irish Guards and more than 1,200 officers and soldiers from the Home Division.

The Queen’s Residences at Sandringham and Balmoral will be open to residents and visitors during the Bank Holiday.

In addition, a beacon will be lit at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the jubilee, with beacons also being lit in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and the UK’s Overseas Territories.

On June 3, the Queen’s Testament Thanksgiving Service will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral.

The next day on June 4, there will be a platinum party at Buckingham Palace, with some of the world’s biggest stars expected to perform, although no names have been announced at this point.

On June 5 there will be a grand jubilee lunch, where street parties will be held across the UK to celebrate the end of the bank holiday.

Finally, the Platinum Jubilee competition will be held in London which will tell the story of the Queen’s 70-year reign. The competition will include a ‘River of Hope’ section featuring 200 silk flags that look like a river as it travels down the mall.

In July, performances by the Royal Collection Trust will be shown at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse to celebrate the Queen’s ascension to the throne.
