This year, Britain celebrates the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Not only are Jubilee celebrations momentous for any monarch, but Her Majesty will also be the first-ever British monarch to have served for seven decades. While the Jubilee date was February 6th, strictly speaking, we’re marking the occasion with a long bank holiday weekend when the sun comes out in June. 

What will undoubtedly be the first main highlight of the year is the Queen’s Big Jubilee Lunch on 5th June, which will see as many as 10 million Brits organising street parties to honour Her Majesty. While a neighbourly lunch in the sun is always something to look forward to, the Big Jubilee Lunch will be especially so. With tragic international conflicts dominating the news of late and families still struggling with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s never been a more important time for pride, unity, and togetherness. 

To help you show your support for your community and Her Majesty, we’re going to spotlight some of the most meaningful Jubilee flags—plus how to use them at your events!

Jubilee Years Flag

Street parties have been a huge part of British culture for generations. They’re believed to have started at the close of World War One when “Peace Teas” were held to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Typically organised by residents, street parties have been held at important royal events throughout the years (most notably coronations and Jubilees), including King George V’s Silver Jubilee, King George VI’s coronation, and the wedding of King Charles and Diana Spencer.

Jubilees mark the 25th, 40th, 50th, 60th, and 70th anniversaries of a monarch’s reign, meaning Queen Elizabeth II has celebrated four in total so far: in 1977, 1992, 2002, 2012, and 2022. This year will be the fifth—a first for any monarch. We believe this deserves some extra respect, so we created the Jubilee Years Flag as an extra salute to Her Majesty!

How To Use It: This flag measures 3 ft by 5 ft, making it a classic standard that would look great on a flagpole. Fly this at a street party to signpost your event, or ask guests to hang it from their windows!

Platinum Jubilee 2022 Flag

One especially beautiful thing about Jubilee celebrations is that they unite everyone—not just in eating and drinking, but in the planning and organising, too! Support, cooperation, and a community spirit are exactly what we need at the moment, but there’s an even more important significance to Her Majesty’s Jubilee.

Each day we are confronted with the world’s tragic and unsettling events, from international conflict to global health issues and climate change. Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee represents a very welcome example of good news that many Britons will welcome. It’s essentially a celebration of 70 years of loyal service, love for one’s country, and respect—all qualities that make her one of the most respected, admired, and beloved leaders in the nation’s history. We feel she deserves a special event that recognises the momentous occasion, and that’s perfectly captured by the Platinum Jubilee 2022 Flag.

How To Use It: This flag looks beautiful in every British garden, as well as outside Royal military bases. Perfect for decorating your local park, town hall, community garden, or school!

Platinum Jubilee Bunting

Returning to the quintessentially British, there’s nothing quite like some Union Jack bunting to commemorate a Royal event! Whether it’s zig-zagged through Windsor for the changing of the guard or strung up on the decks of a Royal Navy battleship for the Jubilee Parade, we love seeing red, white and blue triangles fluttering in the wind!

You may not be attending a Jubilee Lunch this year (perhaps you’ve opted for a Jubilee football match or charity event), but there’s still no excuse not to get patriotic by decorating wherever you are. With uniquely designed Platinum Jubilee Bunting, you can make any indoor or outdoor event into a celebration of Her Majesty.

How To Use It: This 15-metre bunting can be hung from windows and building facades along parade routes, strung across markets, squares, plazas, and football fields, or used to decorate playgrounds, courtyards, and other open spaces.
