One in ten are planning to throw a party and almost half the nation (47%) will be downing tools to recognise the Jubilee (compared to the 20% who celebrated the Royal Wedding last year), according to new research by drinks brand Schweppes.
And it seems our British pride has tripled in the ten years since the Golden Jubilee, which was celebrated by less than one in five people – that's just 17% of the nation.
One in three Brits say they are very excited about ‘marking a moment in British history' (28%). A further 25% are excited to be celebrating The Queen's 60 year reign and many of us (23%) are also looking forward to the extra day off.
Royal wedding photographer Hugo Burnand commented: "Royal occasions are always great fun to enjoy with family and friends and it's wonderful to see so many Brits getting into the party spirit this year and planning a Royal knees-up. With the Jubilee and a summer of sport, we will no doubt see a swell in British pride with our numerous British quirks being showcased in all their splendour."
It seems that for those throwing a royal bash, party planning is no mean feat: the average party host will spend up to six weeks preparing and planning the perfect event. Research showed that a perfect Jubilee bash should include food relevant to the occasion such as finger sandwiches, Victoria sponge and bread and butter pudding (53% of Brits claimed that this was their top priority).
In spite of this royal fervour, a quarter (25%) of 16-24 year olds claim not to know what the Diamond Jubilee is in celebration of, believing that it is either The Queen's 60th Birthday, her wedding anniversary or the presentation of a new diamond crown to Her Majesty The Queen.
