Geocache Description:

Bodmin Diamond Jubilee Event

The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate to the monarchy how appreciated they are. Although we are celebrating her Diamond Jubilee, It's not just about the Queen herself, but the good work that is done by many members of the Royal Family. Prince Phillip's 'Duke of Edinburgh's Award' and Prince Charles's 'Prince's Trust' are amongst many schemes and projects that help and support our communities, and are just some of the many legacies of todays Royal Family. Lets join together to celebrate sixty years of dedication by her majesty. The official emblem for The Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012 is shown on the sides of this page, and is the winning design following a national competition for children aged between 6 and 14. It was drawn by 10-year-old Katherine Dewar, from Chester.
Diamond Jubilee Queen Elizabeth II	What is Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee? The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee marks 60 years since her accession in 1952. Royal Jubilees celebrate significant periods in monarchs’ reigns and national life. In 2012, The Queen will become only the second UK monarch to mark 60 years on the throne. Celebrations were previously held for Her Majesty’s Silver Jubilee in 1977 and Golden Jubilee in 2002. When exactly is The Queen marking her Diamond Jubilee? While Accession Day is on 6th February, celebrations will occur throughout 2012, with a special extended bank holiday central weekend in the United Kingdom on 2nd-5th June. What events will take place over this bank holiday central weekend? On Saturday 2nd June, The Queen will attend the Epsom Derby. On Sunday 3rd June the Big Jubilee Lunch and the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant will take place. On Monday 4th June a concert will be held at Buckingham Palace and a network of beacons will be lit throughout the UK and the Commonwealth. On Tuesday 5th June a Service of Thanksgiving will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral, which will be followed by a formal carriage Procession.
Cache Information	This event will be held at the 'The Callywith', a family pub and restaurant sited on the edge of Bodmin. Having gained permission from this establishment to hold the event there, the event organisers (cache owners) will be present in the pub during the afternoon, between 2pm and 6pm, and would welcome anyone to drop in for a light lunch or drink during this time frame. The question is, what else is there to do, on the Saturday of a Bank Holiday weekend ?
