Millions of Britons celebrate the Queen at ‘Jubilee’ picnics

Nationally, people in Great Britain celebrated the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II on the throne at joint outings. At London’s cricket stadium The Oval, heir to the throne Prince Charles and his wife, Duchess Camilla, also participated in a “jubilee lunch”, where the Queen’s son-in-law was cutting a cake. Charles advocated maintaining that sense of community – and not returning to bickering after the four-day celebration.

It is estimated that millions of people participated in the “Great Lunch” at some 16,000 events. All residents could register for festivals in advance, and there were also many publicly organized events. Some municipalities have waived fees already owed for road closures to allow parties.

Like the Queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, and his wife, Countess Sophie the Queen at lunch in Windsor. The palace has released pictures showing Duchess Kate, the wife of Prince William, the Queen’s grandson, baking cakes with her three children. She added that the sweets were intended for a street party in the Welsh capital Cardiff.
