Her Majesty is the nation's longest reigning monarch.

Buckingham Palace have released the timings for all the events taking place over the long weekend, so let's take a look.

Will you be taking part in any events? Maybe you're having a street party? Let us know in the comments below!

Thursday 2 June
Trooping of the colour
There was a smaller trooping of the colour for the Queen's official birthday in 2021
10am - Trooping the Colour will begin. This is the Queen's birthday parade. Trooping the colour is a military parade with soldiers, horses and musicians performing.

It is hoped the Queen will make an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, along with other key royal family members to watch a special flypast - a special flight by a group of aircraft.

9:25pm - Lighting of the beacons - Some members of the royal family will gather to watch the first beacon be lit at the palace which is a 21m tall Tree of Trees sculpture.

Another 2,800 beacons will be lit across the world for the Queen.

Friday 3 June
St Paul's Cathedral
The service of thanksgiving will happen at St Paul's Cathedral in London
11am - Service of Thanksgiving - This will take place at St Paul's Cathedral and the largest church bell in the country, Great Paul, will be rung for the service. Members of the royal family will attend.

12:25pm - Royal family members will attend a reception at London's Guildhall, hosted by the Lord Mayor.

Saturday 4 June
Mabel, George Ezra, Celeste
Mabel, George Ezra and Celeste will all perform at the Platinum Party at the Palace concert
5:30pm - The Epsom Derby - a passionate fan of horses, the Queen was due to attend one of the UK's most famous horse races, the Epsom Derby, but she no longer plans to do so in order to 'pace herself' throughout the Jubilee weekend.

Instead, the Queen's daughter - Princess Anne - is expected to attend on the Her Majesty's behalf and up to 40 past and present jockeys who have ridden for the Queen are due to form a guard of honour.

The Queen will no doubt still be keeping a close eye on the day's events as one of her own horses has been entered to race on Saturday.

8pm - Platinum Party at the Palace concert - Broadcasting live on the BBC, the concert will see mega stars from across the entertainment world join in the celebrations.

Mabel, Celeste, George Ezra, Ella Eyre and Eurovision singer Sam Ryder will all be at the party to mark the Queen's 70 years of reign.

Sunday 5 June
Hatchling
This giant dragon puppet, called the hatchling, will feature at the Jubilee Pageant
To end the long weekend of celebrations Big Jubilee Lunches will take place across the country.

Over ten million people across the UK are expected to join in the celebrations hosting street parties, BBQ's and coming together with neighbours.

2:30pm - The Jubilee Pageant - This grand parade takes place in London featuring gymnasts, huge dragons and lots of young people to celebrate the Queen.

Ed Sheeran will end the event by singing the national anthem in front of Buckingham Palace.
