The Leader podcast: Celebrating 70 years of Queen Elizabeth

As Queen Elizabeth celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, becoming the first British monarch to mark 70 years on the throne, we are taking a look back at her reign, and exploring the significance of this jubilee.

We speak with Royal Historian and Author Dr Edward Owens about Queen Elizabeth’s history, significant moments during her reign, and what she’ll be remembered for.

Historian and Curator Charles Farris from Historic Royal Palaces takes us through the history of jubilees, and how this platinum event will compare to those throughout history.

Also, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Tim Waters discusses Her Majesty’s relationship with the attraction, and how her models were created.

And we hear from the CEO of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant Rosanna Machado about what is in store for the Platinum Jubilee Pageant in London.
