Penarth residents share the importance of this year’s celebration
RESIDENTS at Cwrt Jubilee, in Penarth, share why they have decided to host a Jubilee party to celebrate the Queen’s 70-year reign.
Over the bank holiday, millions of people across the United Kingdom came together to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Penarth residents, who witnessed the Queen’s coronation and have fond memories of attending and hosting street parties over the years, feel that this could be the last chance they have to celebrate a Jubilee.
Despite the recent controversy, the Royal Family has faced this year, from the allegations of Prince Andrew’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein to the divide between wealth and poverty in the UK, many still feel that they wish to celebrate Her Royal Majesty The Queen’s success of being the longest-serving Monarch.
On Friday evening, Penarth joined more than 1,500 places across the country in the lighting of the beacons to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, becoming the first British Monarch to celebrate 70 years of service.
The bank holiday celebrations and activities continue in Cardiff and The Vale of Glamorgan until Sunday evening.
