The full list of Platinum Jubilee street parties and road closures in Bury

The four-day Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations will be host to a wide range of events all marking the 70 years since Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne.

Queen Elizabeth II became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee earlier this year after marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, Realms and the Commonwealth.  In honor of the milestone anniversary, thousands of street parties are scheduled to coincide with days of royal celebrations honor the queen’s historic reign, including two bank holidays planned on Thursday and Friday for a four-day, holiday weekend.  Buckingham Palace shared that the queen’s attendance at events throughout the Platinum Jubilee weekend will likely only be confirmed on "the day itself," and Prince William and wife Kate Middleton were tapped to lead the Jubilee celebrations as the most senior members of the royal family.  The Royal Family’s official social media accounts have teased access to Jubilee preparations, and will share behind-the-scenes looks at what’s to come for the big weekend in royal history. Queen Elizabeth II will begin Platinum Jubilee celebrations on Thursday with Trooping the Colour.

Sex Pistols have released their ‘Pistol Mint Commemorative Coin’ today (May 30) ahead of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee on Friday (June 3).The nickel-plated coin features artist Jamie Reid’s Union Jack flag design on the front, with a high quality decal of his depiction of the Queen sporting a lip piercing on the back.It comes days after the band reissued their controversial 1977 single ‘God Save The Queen’, which includes the lyrics “God save the queen / She ain’t no human being / And there is no future / In England’s dreaming.” The single was seen as an anti-monarchy protest song, released around the time of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in the summer of ’77.Despite being banned by the BBC at the time, the song reached Number One on the NME chart and Number Two on the UK’s singles chart (the track was listed as a blank on the latter to avoid causing offence).The commemorative coin (available here until the end of June), which marks the Queen’s 70th year on the throne, comes in a cushioned sapphire velvet presentation box with the front face design embossed in silver.
