In a statement, the Palace stated that the events "will provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the historic milestone."
Queen Elizabeth, who turned 95-years-old in April this year, ascended to the throne in 1952 and has since been serving as the country's monarch. This year marks her 69th year on the throne.
