by ten-year-old Katherine Dewar from Chester, UK

2012 is going to be an exciting year for the UK. Not only is London hosting the Olympics and Paralympics, but this is also the year of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11. This means that she has reigned for 60 years.

There will be many celebrations and one of the main events will be a river pageant on the Thames on 3rd June. You can read all about it here.

There will also be a three-evening pageant at Windsor Castle and on 4th June beacons will be lit in many countries around the world in celebration.
