Description
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee assembly on the years 1952 – 2022 is an adaptation of my History of Rock n Roll assembly. This covers world events but with a musical twist (up to 35 suggested songs!)
This is one of three scripts now available on the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The other two are:
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee assembly – about the Queen and her life, family, achievements etc.
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee assembly on the English Monarchy – this being a quick gallop from Alfred to our present queen!
Duration
Reading time: about 15 minutes. This does not include any music and as the ‘list’ is largely down to teacher discretion, this could vary greatly – from 15 to 60 minutes!
Cast of 30 plus (could easily be doubled!)

Narrator: Ah! Queen!
Queen: Pardon?
Narrator: No, that’s the name of the band, Your Majesty!
