The Queen鈥檚 Platinum Jubilee celebrations are about to begin with royal enthusiasts across the UK hanging up their Union Jack flags and making plans to raise a glass to the monarch鈥檚 record-breaking 70-year reign. Four days of celebrations are scheduled to honour Queen Elizabeth, 96, culminating in a pop music concert.

The Queen has said she is "inspired" by the goodwill of the nation as celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee begin.
In a Jubilee message, she thanked the public for organising events and said "many happy memories" would be made.
