Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebration istheevent of the year in the UK.
(It’s only fitting that the Queen of Motown would honor a fellow monarch.)
One of the most stunning portions of the weekend will be theQueen’s Platinum Jubilee Beaconsceremony.
The man in charge of making sure the illumination goes off successfully is Beacon Pageant Master Bruno Peek.
He also coordinated the ceremonies for the Golden and Diamond Jubilees.
It’s a job Peek enjoys because of his respect for the queen.
“She’s very caring, very understanding, very polite,” he told the magazine.
“And she makes you feel very welcome when you’re in her presence.”
As theofficial websiteexplains, there will be three beacon events taking place on June 2.
The queen enjoys beacons.
Peek admits to feeling a pang at realizing this will be the last such ceremony for this remarkable monarch.
Another traditional light display is less popular with the queen, it seems.
She told Peek, “Do you know it reminds me it’s the Blitz all over again.”
