The celebrations will mainly be centred around the extended weekend of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th June.
There is a long and unbroken tradition in this country of celebrating royal jubilees with the lighting of beacons. The plan for 2012 is to light 2012 beacons across the UK, with Her Majesty lighting the National Beacon on Monday 4th June.
In South Holland, lots of celebrations are planned including the lighting of beacons, family fun days and community lunches. To find out what is happening in your area see the "What's On" pages.
