The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Beacons – Monday 4 June 2012

It is hoped that Leicestershire will be able to create at least 40 beacons across the City and County; given the number of sites required, there is no expectation that all beacons will be seen by their nearest neighbouring beacon. This should make it easier for a wider range of locations to get involved, such as villages, landowners, country houses and so on. Where space permits the beacon lighting can either be a public occasion or a private celebration for friends and family.

All those taking part, whether public or private, will have their beacon location listed within a special book that will be given to The Queen after the event. Only the details of the public beacons will have their locations sent to the media in advance of 4th June.
