Wild Thang's Platinum Jubilee Merchandise
Wild Thang's Platinum Jubilee Merchandise

This year marks a special date for the royal family, the nation and especially for Her Majesty the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning British monarch in history and therefore this is the first time that any British monarch has celebrated a Platinum Jubilee. At 96 years old, she is also the oldest monarch in world history. This is a celebration of seventy years of service since the Queen was first crowned as the monarch of the United Kingdom at twenty-five years old.

WILD THANG'S ROYAL DIGNITIES JORDAN, LOU AND JADE SHOWCASING JUBILEE MERCHANDISE

Events have already been taking place throughout the year, but the main event will take place in the form of the bank holiday weekend at the start of June. This gives us all a chance to wave our flags, pop the bunting up and celebrate this historic event.

Wild Thang will be holding our own Platinum Jubilee celebration party later on in the month at WT HQ, as this momentous moment for the Queen truly shows her great distinguished service she has provided for the people of the United Kingdom and should truly be acknowledged. #LongLiveTheQueen

BBC MERSEYSIDE RADIO'S HENRY LISTON PAID WILD THANG A VISIT

Wild Thang HQ had a special visit from a reporter from BBC Radio Merseyside this week, Henry Liston. He came to talk to Andy and Jade about all ‘thangs’ The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Henry was great fun so we had to lay down the Royal red carpet and give him the full 5 star experience taking him on the exclusive Wild Thang tour and of course, we could not let him leave empty-handed.

We took him behind the scenes with our screen print expert Graham, who printed some Platinum Jubilee t-shirts to take back with him to studio.
