Get the tinnies in and let's get lit for Lizzie's Platinum Jubilee
With this year marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, UK workers are set to get four consecutive days of freedom from work.
The UK is being urged to throw huge parties and street ragers in celebration of the Queen's momentous occasion, but don't worry, we have permission, unlike the
UK Government.
The royal events include a live pop concert at Buckingham Palace, a carnival pageant in the capital, Jubilee lunches, and god knows how much fireworks alongside the consequential Facebook posts complaining about them.

The four days are set to be held on Thursday, June 2, through to Monday. Of course, while many will relish the extra time off, there are also millions who will not get to enjoy the festivities.
Celebs like Ross Kemp, Gary Lineker, Gareth Southgate, Levi Roots, Prue Leith, Alan Titchmarsh, and Lorraine Kelly are among those urging the UK to party on.

This comes as Partygate Prime Minister Boris Johnson has commended the Queen's "unwavering dedication to this nation" as she becomes the first monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.
He said: "Today marks a truly historic moment as Her Majesty The Queen becomes the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.

"Throughout her seven-decade reign, she has shown an inspirational sense of duty and unwavering dedication to this nation.
"I pay tribute to her many years of service and look forward to the summer when we will be able to come together as a country to celebrate her historic reign."
