In early June a number of events took place all over Britain to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the sixtieth anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession to the throne.
A jubilee is a special anniversary of an event, and as Jeffrey Hill informed a few weeks ago, the 60th anniversary of an event is known as a diamond jubilee, the 50th is a golden jubilee, and the 25th a silver jubilee.
You can find out about the Jubilee celebrations and events on http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/.
For the English learner there is lots of material and stuff on the net about this celebration and http://www.thediamondjubilee.org can keep us busy for some time to practise our English, but I came across this video from the Canadian CBC about Queen Elizabeth's life that I found really interesting and accessible to learners.
I hope you enjoy it. No task, watch the video clip and try to understand as much as possible.
