2022 marks Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th year of service. She is the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee and with a four day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June - there’s plenty to celebrate whether you’re a royalist or not. Retailers across the nation are helping consumers get in touch with their patriotic side with all manner of British merchandise ranging from Union Jack flags and bowler hats, to lifesize cardboard cutouts of the queen.
