The BBC has announced its full programming schedule for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend. From TV to radio, the momentous milestone will be marked with content from across the UK.
TV presenter Kirsty Young has been confirmed as the presenter for the Platinum Jubilee coverage over the four-day weekend, after stepping back from the program in August 2018 due to health complications. Meanwhile, Clive Myrie, Mary Berry, Huw Edwards and Clare Balding will also front special programs.
“The BBC is marking The Queen’s momentous Platinum Jubilee in spectacular style with an unprecedented range of special programming,” BBC Chief Content Officer, Charlotte Moore, says.
“In celebration of Her Majesty’s seventy years of service the BBC will bring the people of the UK together with something for everyone to commemorate this historic anniversary culminating on the extended bank holiday weekend.”

Kirsty Young adds: “I’m delighted to be back on the BBC for such an historic, unique, and happy event. It’s going to be quite a weekend and our coverage will bring viewers everywhere a front row seat at the celebrations. I can ‘t wait! “
