This is the way royal milestones used to be proclaimed (and occasionally still are): A town crier announces, "OH YAY! OH YAY! TODAY HERE IN ROYAL WINDSOR WE COME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE HER MAJESTY'S PLATINUM JUBILEE!"
Meanwhile at Buckingham Palace, this is the way royal milestones – like, 70 years on the throne – are proclaimed now, reports correspondent Mark Phillips.
Everything about this Platinum Jubilee is unprecedented, for the simple reason that it has never happened before. No monarch has ever sat on the top of the British aristocratic tree for so long.
