Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II
The Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II is to happen in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in 2022 for the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth II becoming the monarch of these places (ceremonial in the Commonwealth now) on 6 February 1952. If she is still the British monarch at the right time, she will be the first one to have a platinum jubilee. In the United Kingdom, another bank holiday will be made and the normal May bank holiday weekend will be moved to the start of June to make a special four-day weekend. The British government says there will be a "once-in-a-generation show" that will have the best art and technology in its displays and the best British ceremonial greatness.
Carly Ledbetter, writing for the "Huffington Post", says because the Platinum Jubilee was being planned, Elizabeth II did not plan to stop being the British monarch in favour of her son Charles when she became 95 years old in 2021.
The Queen's traditional birthday parade, also known as Trooping the Colour, will happen on 2 June 2022 instead of the usual second Saturday of June. Over 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will come together for her official birthday.
The tradition of celebrating royal jubilees, weddings and coronations by lighting beacons will happen on 2 June in the United Kingdom, the crown dependencies and the oversea territories. Beacons will be lit in all capital cities of the Commonwealth countries for the first time.
The traditional service of thanksgiving for the Queen's reign will happen at St Paul's Cathedral on 3 June.
The Queen will come with other members of the royal family on 4 June to the Derby at Epsom Downs. A concert named 'Platinum Party at the Palace' will happen at Buckingham Palace that evening. Some of the biggest artists and entertainment stars will perform there. The BBC will make and show the concert. As with the Diamond Jubilee, they will work with the European Broadcasting Union. Members of the public will be invited to apply to come to the event.
On the last day of the longer bank holiday, it is hoped people will have a 'Big Jubilee Lunch' and communities will celebrate their connections and know each other a little better there. Street arts, theatre, music, circus, carnival and costume celebrating the Queen's reign will happen in a pageant, where there will be more than 5,000 people from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, and Buckingham Palace in the background.
A Platinum Jubilee medal will be made for the Jubilee. People who work in public service, including people who represent the Armed Forces, the emergency services and the prison services, will get them.
It has been said the Severn Bridge should be named something else in honour of the Jubilee.
The 2022 Corby Pole Fair will happen on Friday, 3 June 2022 because of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

It is hoped people in the United Kingdom will 'Plant a Tree for the Jubilee' to help the environment and make local areas greener, as a "special gift" for the Queen. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson said "As we celebrate Her Majesty's incredible 70 years of service, I encourage everyone to get behind this scheme, and go 'Plant a Tree for the Jubilee'."

99 Bottles of Beer
"99 Bottles of Beer" is a sea shanty written around the mid-1900s. No one knows who wrote it. It is a backwards counting song in both the United States and Canada.
The words to the song are:
Alternative line:
If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 98 bottles of beer on the wall...
We repeat the line many times, with one less bottle each time. When there are no bottles left, a different line is used. Some lines that can be used for when there are no bottles are:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall...
Or:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
We've taken them down and passed them around; now we're drunk and passed out!
Other alternate lines read:
If that one bottle should happen to fall, what a waste of alcohol!
Or:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
There's nothing else to fall, because there's no more bottles of beer on the wall.
Sometimes, the song does not stop when there are 1 or no bottles of beer left. In this case, the song keeps going with -1, -2, -3, and so on bottles of beer.
American comedian Andy Kaufman had a comedy bit where he would sing all 100 verses. This was considered funny because the song is not usually completed due to its length.
Atticus, a band from Knoxville, Tennessee, recorded a version of the song in front of people. It took 13 and a half minutes. It was recorded at a Glasgow, Scotland bar called The Cathouse. It was included in the 2001 album "Figment". Rich Stewart, also known as Barroom Rambler, called it the number one drinking song out of 86 in an article for "Modern Drunkard Magazine".
Donald Byrd has dozens of versions of the song. These versions are inspired by math topics. The songs written by himself and others, and some of them have been published. Byrd says that the collection is fun and a good way to teach about infinity. Among his versions are:Infinite bottles of beer on the wall,
infinite bottles of beer;
If one of those bottles should happen to fall,
infinite bottles of beer on the wall.Infinite bottles of beer on the wall,
infinite bottles of beer;
If finite bottles should happen to fall,
infinite bottles of beer on the wall.These two verses can be repeated forever.
