The Field’s Platinum Jubilee shopping guide
Once the crowds have dispersed, the coronation chicken demolished and the bunting packed away, here's our pick of Platinum Jubilee shopping to remember the celebrations by
The countdown is on for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations: a long weekend to say ‘three cheers’ to Her Majesty for 70 years of service on the throne. There’s Trooping the Colour on 2 June, a service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on 3 June, the Derby on 4 June, followed by the Platinum Party at the Palace that evening, and a finale of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant down The Mall on 5 June.
But once the crowds have dispersed, the coronation chicken demolished and the bunting packed away, here’s our pick of Platinum Jubilee shopping to remember this royal bonanza by.
Don’t miss The Field’s June issue, a Platinum Jubilee special, out on 19 May, where we celebrate Her Majesty as a countrywoman, look back at her 70 year reign, choose the ultimate Jubilee picnic, champion the best British gunmakers and much more.
The Queen’s Green Canopy, a nationwide tree-planting initiative, is underway to mark HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, finds Melanie Cable-Alexander.
