new free collection<\/a> of over 50 films of Jubilee celebrations in the UK to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Platinum Jubilee.<\/p>\nThe collection of historic films begins with early silent footage of Queen Victoria\u2019s procession for her Diamond Jubilee on 20 June 1897, celebrating 60 years on the throne.<\/p>\n
It then moves on to George V\u2019s Silver Jubilee on 6 May 1935, by which time amateur filmmakers were capturing celebrations across the country.<\/p>\n
The films from this collection include a carnival in Bognor Regis and parades and a pageant in Wolverhampton.<\/p>\n
The collection then shows colour footage from the 1970s of local celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Silver Jubilee on 7 June 1977.<\/p>\n
The celebrations in 1977 include pancake tossing and slow bicycle races in Pulham Market and the Queen\u2019s visit to Bath as part of a tour of the South-west.<\/p>\n
