The Queen's Golden Jubilee was celebrated in the summer months of 2002.

From April to October, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh undertook a wide-ranging programme.

People all over the world held street parties, garden parties and other events to celebrate the Golden Jubilee. Perhaps the 'coolest' party was in the Antarctic, where 20 scientists of the British Antarctic Survey held a party at a temperature of minus 20. Celebrations included an outdoor feast and a ration of champagne, plus a game

of cricket on the sea ice, skiing and sledging. More than 40,000 "toolkits" were distributed to people organising street parties.
