Jubilee: 1 Day to Go!
It’s just 24 hours until we will kick off the weekend of Jubilee celebrations with the Beacon Lighting Ceremony in Channels Park.
Unfortunately we won’t be able to have live music as our leading singer, guitar player & entertainer (Dan Pierce) has been struck down with COVID and won’t be able to play any live music or lead the singing at 9.45pm when the beacon is lit tomorrow evening.
We will be playing the music at the appropriate time, and there will be lyrics sheets available so do have a listen, have a practice and do your best to sing along if you can tomorrow! The song lyrics and music can be found HERE.
There are only a few hours left to buy your Jubilee Raffle tickets online in advance if you are a Channels resident otherwise you will need to buy them tomorrow night in cash.
£2 per ticket or £6 per strip of 5 tickets
Raffle Draw in the Jubilee Marquee at Channels Park: 10.00pm on 2nd June
Don’t forget to bring your best decorated cakes along (rules here) and also make sure you take your painted rocks to the Royal Rock Row between 9am and 4pm tomorrow!
Have a last look at the Beacon Lighting Schedule. The weather forecast looks good so we look forward to seeing you tomorrow from 8pm 🙂

Jubilee: 2 Weeks to Go!
Channels Residents Community Group is proud to be part of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Beacons and Associated Activities and has announced plans to light a Beacon for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on the evening of Thursday, June 2nd, 2022.
The Beacon is one of thousands being lit in the UK and the Commonwealth, and forms part of the official programme announced by Buckingham Palace for the Jubilee Weekend. The Beacon will be lit at Channels Park, and it will be one of over 2,022 lit by charities, communities and faith groups all over the UK.
In addition, beacons will be lit in all 54 Commonwealth capitals and the Principal Beacon lighting will take place in a special ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Thursday evening. This will take the form of a lighting installation with The Queen’s Green Canopy ‘Tree of Trees’ sculpture and projections onto the front of Buckingham Palace. This innovative new way of taking part in the beacon lighting will reflect the Royal Family’s long history championing environmental causes.
We will be opening the weekend of Jubilee celebrations with the Beacon Lighting Ceremony and the evening will include a Jubilee Raffle, a Cake Decorating Competition, a family Jubilee Trail, some craft activities for children and everyone singing ‘A Life Filled with Grace’ as the beacon is lit.
Over the next two weeks, we will post more detail and reminders about the evening so keep an eye out for updates via the CRCG website, Facebook & Twitter! 🙂
For now, and if you are a Channels Resident, you can buy your Jubilee Raffle tickets online in advance and there are some great prizes to be won!
