Queen Elizabeth Begins Celebrations For 70 Years On The Throne By Unearthing Past Jubilee Gifts

Queen Elizabeth is days away from a big milestone. Feb. 6 will mark 70 years since she ascended the throne, a feat no other British monarch has done before her. While the official weekend of Platinum Jubilee festivities will happen this summer, the Queen began her celebrations early with a sweet trip down memory lane. On Friday, the royal family shared photos of the royal beaming as she leafed through the cards, letters and art that the public has sent her to honor past Jubilees.
