The Queen's historic Platinum Jubilee will be commemorated with a four-day bank holiday weekend in June.

On Sunday, February 6, the Queen ascended to the throne following the death of her father George VI in 1952, marking the first occasion a British monarch has achieved a Platinum Jubilee.

Official commemorations, however, will take place four months later, when there is a better likelihood of pleasant, dry weather, as has been the case for Queen Elizabeth II's previous jubilees. A live pop performance at Buckingham Palace, Jubilee lunches, and the lighting of beacons throughout the world are all part of the royal spectacular.

A worldwide royal bake-off competition to create a Platinum Pudding dedicated to the Queen is underway, and thousands of trees have been planted in honor of the monarch's 70 years of service through The Queen's Green Canopy project.

The Platinum Jubilee Pageant is one of the most anticipated events, as Nicholas Coleridge puts it: "no monarch has earned [one] before, as none has ruled for so long." On Sunday, June 5, ten thousand individuals will take part, with performances from all over the UK and Commonwealth - military and creatives, dancers and supermodels - all converging on the path leading to Buckingham Palace.

Per The Daily Telegraph, this will be Queen Elizabeth II's fourth royal pageant, and just the eighth in history. The first was dedicated to King George III in 1809, followed by two more to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden and Diamond Jubilees.

Diana Ross, Queen + Adam Lambert, Alicia Keys, and Duran Duran are among the artists scheduled to play at the BBC's "Platinum Party At The Palace" extravaganza honoring the Queen's 70th anniversary.

The event, which will take place at Buckingham Palace on Saturday, June 4, 2022, will be aired live on BBC One.

The performance will be opened by Queen + Adam Lambert (a collaboration between active members of the British band Queen and former American Idol star Lambert), and it will be closed by soul legend Diana Ross with a medley of her top hits in honor of the Queen's remarkable milestone.

Hans Zimmer, Mabel, Elbow, George Ezra, Andrea Bocelli, Ella Eyre, Craig David, Mimi Webb, Sam Ryder, Nile Rodgers, Sigala, Jax Jones, Celeste, and Diversity will all perform on the three-stage set. Sir David Attenborough, Emma Raducanu, David Beckham, Stephen Fry, Dame Julie Andrews, The Royal Ballet, and Sir Elton John will perform a specially recorded performance.

Special appearances by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as performances by casts and special guests from The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Six, The Lion King, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, will pay tribute to the Queen's love of show tunes.

Next month, members of the royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, will gather for a four-day weekend of festivities to commemorate the monarch's Platinum Jubilee. On Sunday, June 5, the long weekend draws to a close with a special procession through downtown London, as per PEOPLE.

Poll: More Brits Don't Plan on Celebrating Queen's Jubilee

Per Newsweek via MSN, a recent poll reveals that the majority of Britons say they have no plans to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee and are unlikely to do so. According to YouGov, 56 percent of 3,389 British adults indicated they "do not and probably will not make plans" to celebrate the jubilee.

The percentage of those who stated they had or would probably make plans was 34%, with 9% saying they didn't know. Following the resignation of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from royal responsibilities, the queen's health and mobility problems, and a succession of failed royal tours, the monarchy has come under heightened public criticism.

The queen's 70th year on the throne will be celebrated in 2022 with a series of public events planned for the first week of June, including a pop concert outside Buckingham Palace and a remarkable pageant down The Mall with the gold royal coronation carriage.

Two extra bank holidays have been approved for the core weekend activities, which will take place from June 2 to 5, providing an "opportunity for communities and individuals across the United Kingdom to join together to celebrate the historic milestone," according to organizers.

The fact that Britons may not turn out in the same numbers as they did for the monarch's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Golden Jubilee in 2002, or Silver Jubilee in 1977 will be disappointing to the organizers, including London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who has said he hopes this year's events will "blow the others out of the water."
