Platinum Jubilee Pageant, London, UK

The Pageant took place on the 5th June 2022. Despite the early rain it cleared to bring a cloudy day. The pageant route was from Westminster to Buckingham Palace. Over 10,000 people are involved, including the military, over 6,000 volunteers, performers, key

workers and 2,500 members of the general public.

 

Act 3 - Lets Celebrate

These are twelve chapters and they tell the story of Queen Elizabeth’s reign over the seventy years. From her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947 to the Coronation in 1953. It involved her charities that are dear to her heart and horses and corgis.

 

With each section being unique, they combine street theatre, music-on-the-move, urban dance, and the very best of Carnival, May Day, Mela, Fiesta and Mardi Gras. It has been conceived as an interpretation and celebration of The Queen’s extraordinary life experience.

 

The Thank you Dance

Created by Kinetika & Jeanefer Jean Charles from London, Thurrock and Milton Keynes. This final part celebrates the seventy years of public service by the Queen and is a Thank You. Hundreds of performers adorned in silk were drawn from across generations.
