Cowbridge (Ancient Borough) with Llanblethian Town Council is inviting everyone in the town to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee at a beacon lighting ceremony on June 2.

It will take place on the field by the Cowbridge Athletic Club with entertainment from the Cowbridge Rock Choir, Stage Door 1 and Stagecoach Theatre Arts.

Drinks will be served as well as an Indian buffet provided by Shampan and sweet treats from Fablas Ice Cream.

Gates will open at 19:00 and entry will be free.

February 6, 1952 – the date of the Queen's accession.

June 2, 1952 – exactly 70 years before the beacon lighting ceremony.

June 2, 1953 – the date of the coronation.
