BREAKING NEWS – QUEEN ELIZABETH II PLATINUM JUBILEE

This year, 2022, marks the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Princess Elizabeth became Queen at age 25, upon the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. Born on 21 April 1926, this year also marks the Queen’s 96th birthday.

This incredible achievement is the ultimate example of the Queen’s steadfast dedication to service and duty. After reaching the milestone of 70 years on the throne, the Queen remains the longest-reigning living monarch and becomes the only monarch of Britain and the Commonwealth who has ruled for seven decades. There have been 14 British prime ministers in office during her reign and more than 170 Commonwealth leaders.

There will be many celebrations across the United Kingdom to mark the jubilee, including a four-day long weekend of events in June. This special extended bank holiday weekend will provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom and other places to come together to celebrate the historic milestone.

To finish with their project entitled BREAKING NEWS, 4th year CSE students (Bilingual Section) will talk about this important event in history. Together at the studio, on the 1st June 2022, they will develop a brief summary of her reign, some anecdotes and her greatest achievements.
