As the sun rises on this historic day in the east from faraway lands in Japan...
TODAY, Sunday 6th February 2022 marks the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II. This is a celebration across the entire commonwealth and indeed the world, marking the 70th Anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II.
In the UK, there will be an extra bank holiday and the usual Spring bank holiday will be moved from the end of May to the start of June, to create a four day Jubilee bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd June to Sunday 5th June. The British government have promised a "once-in-a-generation show" that will "mix the best of British ceremonial splendour and pageantry with cutting edge artistic and technological displays. It is the first time in history that any British monarch has celebrated a platinum jubilee.
Finally, our dear Queen is the longest still-reigning monarch of all time. What a magnificent achievement this is. 

***A special note from Culture Cave Editor Gabriella White MCIJ***
I can’t help but add that my family and close friends have had a special relationship with the royal family over the years, the Queen Mother had tea in our house upon opening a tennis pavilion opposite our Victorian home. Furthermore one of my closest friends is Deputy Lieutenant to Her Majesty the Queen; other friends have worked and some still do work at the Palace in various capacities. Just earlier last year, my Dad received a personal letter from Prince William with a personal thank you for his musical contributions, which were heard played at the palace by Prince William and his family. This letter was particularly touching. I had received Prince William as part of Royal Communications in Tokyo just a few short years ago as he visited a special bookstore, which has remained an all time favourite since. He took a particular interest in expats over here and was absolutely lovely, just like his late mother, Diana (with whom I happen to share my birthday).
In more recent times, the Queen thanked the Weardale community for the ‘Weardale Book of Condolences’, upon the passing of the Queen’s late husband Prince Philip last year; the book was delivered to the Palace by Deputy Lieutenant Anita Atkinson. I had enclosed a letter in this book from Tokyo on behalf of myself and the Japan Peace Mission with which I have acted as a diplomat communications trainer for some years between east and west at the United Nations and the Queen made particular reference to it in a response to the community letters and contributions. This made me very proud. 
The Queen is an extended member of the British family. She is a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother and a friend. And she admirably manages to reach out personally to so many of us. She is simply a class act. 
The bottom line is, we love her. It is all a real honor and I feel very proud to be British today of all days. 
Happy Jubilee Day, your Royal Highness. And may the following words resonate for a long time yet: God Save The Queen!
