Exhibitions for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Platinum Jubilee Display, Palace of Holyroodhouse
In Scotland, the Palace of Holyroodhouse will host a display looking back at The Queen’s previous, numerous, Jubilees.
The display will feature outfits worn by the Queen on occasions to celebrate the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees. In 1977 for The Queen’s Silver Jubilee, the royal couturier Sir Hardy Amies designed a striking ensemble of dress, coat and stole in pink silk crepe and chiffon with a matching hat designed by Simone Mirman with flowerheads hanging from silk stems. The ensemble was worn at the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on 7 June 1977 marking the 25th anniversary of The Queen’s Accession.
