Denbighshire is holding a beacon lighting event to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The free event
will take place at Rhyl Events Area on Thursday, June 2, between 9pm –
10pm.
The beacon
lighting will be part of 1,500 events taking place throughout the United
Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories to celebrate
Her Majesty the Queen becoming the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum
Jubilee, and to mark this historic 70-year reign.
Denbighshire
County Council will be helping celebrate the Queen’s remarkable 70-year reign
with this free event for members of the public, with no booking required.
To coincide with the lighting of the Beacon, all present will be invited to join in to sing the ‘Song for the Commonwealth – A Life Lived with Grace’ which won the Commonwealth-wide song competition and further details can be found at www.commonwealthresounds.com
Ample car
parking is available in Rhyl for the Beacon lighting, but the closest car parks
to the Events Arena are the Central Car Park, Sky Tower Car Park, and Pavilion
Theatre Car Park, all located along West Parade, Rhyl.
Residents are
reminded as this is a late evening, outdoor event, to remember to dress
appropriately.
The council
has also taken part in the Queen’s Green Canopy, a UK-wide, tree planting
initiative created to mark the Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
The Jubilee
Tree, was planted at Cae Ddol, Ruthin in March, by Denbighshire County
Council’s Chairman Cllr Alan James.
The tree is a
Black Poplar, a very rare tree, native to the river banks of the county.
As part of the
celebrations, we have held competitions for schools, and 20 Denbighshire
schools have participated in the various competitions, with 2,404 entries
having been received over seven creative competitions which include flag
designs, letter writing, poetry and baking.
The winners of
all the school competitions will be announced via Twitter at @cyfoeth_enrich on
Wednesday, May 18.
