File photo dated 4/6/2002 of the scene from the roof of Buckingham Palace as crowds gathered to watch the Jubilee Flypast of 27 aircraft including the Red Arrows and Concorde fly above The Mall to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee in the largest formation flight over London since 1981. The Queen toured the UK during her Golden Jubilee year – but 2002 also saw the death of both her sister and her mother. Doubters had insisted the Golden Jubilee would be a flop – the monarchy was no longer relevant and royalists should at last bow to the republicans, they argued. More than one million people turned out on successive days during the June Bank Holiday weekend to party on the capital’s streets and in the regions, many tens of thousands – young and old – also joined the party. The Queen’s nationwide tour had started on May 1 in the West Country, where big crowds set the pattern for the rest of the royal visits. Issue date: Thursday September 8, 2022.
