On February 6 2022, the Queen will have reigned as monarch for 70 years – the first time a British sovereign will have been on the throne for seven decades.

Plans are in place to stage a series of events across four days, from June 2-5 in 2022, which will reflect the Queen’s reign and her impact on the UK and the world since her accession to the throne in 1952.

In 1977 the community came together to mark her Silver Jubilee and then again in 2002 and 2012 for her golden and diamond celebrations.

So with the promise of a four day weekend where there will be countless street parties up and down the country we take a look back at previous celebrations across the city.
