The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations will take place between Thursday 2nd June through to Sunday 5th June and we can expect a sensational concert to accompany part of the 3 day fiesta.
The queen completed 70 years on the throne on 6th February and the UK public are going to be spoiled with a special extended bank holiday to celebrate the historic milestone. According to bookmakers, we can expect at least 3 performers at the celebratory concert to have been born before she was even crowned!
A host of huge stars are being tipped to perform at a concert and as usual the bookmakers are getting in on the action by offering odds on who will be most likely to appear with a performance.
Ed Sheeran heads the list at a very short 1/25 price, then we have a trio of stars all of whom were born before The Queen took the throne.
