| | Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee |
 | | Known as the Golden Jubilee Weekend, a four-day weekend was created by moving the bank holiday set for May 27, 2002, to Tuesday, June 4, while making June 3 a special holiday. |
 | | The Jubilee year was also marked by royal visits to Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Jamaica, and tours of various communities in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. |
 | | In keeping with the low-key tone of the Golden Jubilee festivities, the queen asked that people wishing to commemorate the occasion with a donation consider five of her favorite charities. |
