Your prompt for JusJoJan January 26th, 2025 is “jubilee.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

There have been a couple of jubilees in my time.

Here in the UK, we celebrate a monarch reaching a certain number of years monarchy with pomp and circumstance.

I can’t say I remember them all, but I know that in 2012, in my second year at the school I still work at, we got the kids all excited about the 60th jubilee, i.e. the Diamond Jubilee. We made a throne and the children made a model of HRH the Queen, and we had a garden party on the playground!

2022 was a biggie, too. Seventy years on the throne. We celebrated The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, again with much fun with the children. And on our road, there was a street party to mark the event.

Alas, she passed away not long after, so now, we wait to see which milestones King Charles the Third chalks up against his name…
