This Thursday at 9.45pm, beacons will be lit all around the country in honour of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

The principal beacon outside the Palace – a 21-metre-tall Tree of Trees sculpture for the Queen's Green Canopy initiative – will be illuminated by a senior member of the royal family, and images will be projected on to the Palace.

It is a long-held tradition to light beacons to celebrate Royal Jubilees, weddings and coronations.

In 1897, beacons were lit to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. In 1977, 2002 and 2012, beacons commemorated the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees of The Queen, and in 2016 Her Majesty's 90th birthday.
