Platinum Jubilee Special

Aled Jones and Pam Rhodes celebrate HM the Queen’s platinum jubilee at a street party in Eton and reflect on the Christian faith that has underpinned her remarkable reign.

Aled Jones and Pam Rhodes celebrate HM the Queen’s platinum jubilee at a street party in Eton, looking across the Thames to Windsor Castle. With local people and special guests, they reflect on the Queen’s remarkable reign and the strong Christian faith that has been the foundation of her life.

Historian Kate Williams takes questions about the Queen from local school children before joining Aled in St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle. There she explores what has made the Queen’s reign so exceptional and sets out how Christianity is such a key element of her role and her life.

Back at the street party, local people recall treasured memories of meeting the Queen in and around Windsor, firefighters and military veterans reflect on Her Majesty’s life of service, and authors Mark Greene and Catherine Butcher share insights from their books about the Queen’s faith.

With hymns for the occasion recorded at the magnificent chapel of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, and special performances from Katherine Jenkins and Kingdom Choir.
