The UK Government encourages Overseas Territories to join in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued guidance to its teams in the Overseas Territories and there are many ways Overseas Territories can get involved including Big Jubilee Lunches, tree planting, the lighting of Beacons and the competition for Civic Honours.

Overseas Territories will also be represented at key Jubilee events, and their flags are currently being flown on Parliament Square in London.
