This week the nation will enjoy a four-day bank holiday to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

To commemorate Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne, official events will include a Platinum Pageant, Trooping the Colour and a Service of Thanksgiving.

Around the country, there will be hundreds of street parties, special festivities and the lighting of beacons.

As part of the chain of beacons being lit across the UK this week to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, three LED Jubilee Beacons will be lit in Neath Port Talbot.

These will be at the Pontardawe Arts Centre, and at Neath and Port Talbot Civic Centres at 9.45pm on Thursday, June 2.

Neath Port Talbot Council has opened a book of celebration to enable members of the public to send their congratulations and pay tribute to Her Majesty.

Organisations, community groups and residents are planning to hold a whole host of events throughout Neath Port Talbot to honour the monarch’s 70-year reign.

As well as parties being planned by residents in streets, parks and community centres, other highlights include a Jubilee Civic Service at St. David’s Church in Neath and an exhibition featuring pictures of the Queen’s past visits to Neath Port Talbot.

The free exhibition will be on show at venues in Neath, Pontardawe and Port Talbot throughout June, July and August. And, later this autumn, the Queen’s Green Canopy tree planting programme (the initiative being led by Cool Earth) will continue planting more trees throughout the county borough.
