As if you didn’t know already, the Queen is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee this year – that’s 70 years on the throne! There are lots of events going on in the build up to the big day, culminating in a long weekend starting on Thursday 2 June, thanks to the extra bank holiday the Queen is gifting us so we can celebrate the momentous occasion in proper fashion.

There are also a slew of jubilee-themed merchandise and memorabilia being released – such as this stunning Emma Bridgewater collection – and, never one to miss a trick, British stalwart Marks & Spencer is getting in on the action too. There are plenty of M&S jubilee-themed treats to enjoy, of both the edible and drinkable varieties – from adorable corgi biscuits to a limited edition British strawberry gin liqueur and some very special mini jubilee Connie the Caterpillars.

If you’re planning a Platinum Jubilee street party or picnic, M&S should be your first port of call for regal treats and sips…
