The nation has joined the Queen in celebrating all the major milestones of her reign - including rock concerts and posh palace picnics.
Royal Jubilees are an occasion to celebrate the life and reign of a Monarch, and are significant events which are celebrated around the world.
Few British monarchs have achieved reigns of 50 years, and Golden Jubilees are very rare. There are few records of how - if at all - Henry III, Edward III and James VI and I celebrated their 50-year milestones.
The Queen has had significant jubilee celebrations in 1977 - for her Silver Jubilee - 2002 for the Golden Jubilee and 2012 for her Diamond Jubilee.
All the Jubilees follow a similar formula of street parties, special church services, beacon lighting and a tour around the country.
In 1977, celebrating 25 years on the throne, the Queen’s tour lasted three months as she sought to celebrate the people and organisations close to her heart.
In 2002 the Queen travelled over 40,000 miles by air around the UK and the world including Jamaica, New Zealand and Australia and Canada during the Jubilee.
The gardens of Buckingham Palace were used for public concerts for the first time ever during the Golden Jubilee Central Weekend.
An estimated one million people watched outside the Palace in The Mall and around the Queen Victoria Memorial and 200 million on television as artists including Phil Collins, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey celebrated the historic occasion.
The event finished with Queen guitarist Brian May playing on the roof of Buckingham Palace while Roger played with the orchestra on the stage as the band belted out a version of God Save the Queen.
In 2012, The Queen became only the second British Monarch to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years on the throne, with a spectacular concert once again held outside the palace.
Organised by Take That singer-songwriter Gary Barlow and attended by the Queen, who arrived at 9 pm to rapturous applause from thousands of people who had attended through a ballot.
Concert ticket holders were given access to the palace gardens for an afternoon picnic before the main event.
They were served cold hampers with a British-themed menu specially designed by Heston Blumenthal and the royal chef Mark Flanagan.
Next summer, as Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, people in Britain will enjoy an extra two days off work.
The celebrations will be held over a four-day Bank Holiday.
Buckingham Palace has now confirmed June 2-5 will see a series of events reflecting HM's time at the helm, after she succeeded her father to the throne in 1952 aged just 25.
