Having reigned over the Britain, Northern Ireland and some 15 other Commonwealth countries since 1952, Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee with an extra bank holiday for her British subjects.

Greenwich goes royal
There will be more cause for special celebration in Greenwich during June 2012 as the area will be granted Royal Borough status, putting it alongside existing Royal Boroughs Kensington and Chelsea, Windsor and Maidenhead, and Kingston Upon Thames. So if you are keen to take part in some really spectacular Queens Jubilee bank holiday events, Greenwich could well be the place to be. Wherever you are in the city (and whether you're a royalist or not), make the most of the four day weekend by heading to one of these special events.
