It's just 28 days until the Queen’s PlatinumJubilee celebration weekend begins and it was announced by the government that pubs, bars and nightclubs in England and Wales can stay open until 1 am over the extended bank holiday weekend between 2 and 4 June – with calls for the extra bank holiday to be made an annual ‘Thank Holiday’!Also, organisers announced details of events happening in London – including a Trooping the Colour and a flypast, a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, and a Platinum Party at the Palace, with Ed Sheeran topping the star-studded line-up!So, it’s time to start planning and as we all come together to celebrate Her Majesty’s 70yrs on the throne and new research shows people aged 18-24 (78%) are most likely to host an event whereas people aged 35 and above would prefer to leave the hosting to another and attend a themed event instead. (And for a Royal occasion, the absolute celebratory must-haves include Union Jack flags (49%), bunting (42%), scones with jam and cream (39%) and, of course, a glass of fizz (38%).)Roisin O’Neil, Head of Community UK at Nextdoor, believes events like this are a great opportunity to celebrate with your neighbours and bring the local community together.
