Forthcoming jubilees

[Lotusgone]

Dear old Her Maj has clocked up 25 (silver), 50 (gold), 60 (diamond) and now 70 (platinum).

What if she keeps going? What would they call the 75th, or the 80th, expressed as valuable substances? My guesses are cocaine and plutonium.

[KingNothing]

80th is Oak.

[Scrump]

Valuable substances

Petrol
Diesel
Gas

[Muzzer79]

75 years is Sapphire

80 years is Ruby

Given she'll be 106 if she gets to the Ruby Jubilee, I think that'll be her lot.

40th is ruby, 45th sapphire. 80th for oak seems weird but with the price of 4x2 these days.....

Well she paid 12m to save his bottom..........

75th is the same as 60th, diamond.

[GroundEffect]

Diamond us fairly useless and not that rare. It's unnaturally been given high value. Let's use something more relevant - graphene or silicon (single crystal).

Total waste of time and money.

A brilliant spectacle and a great credit to the United Kingdom.

“Hear those till bells ring” ... kerching!
See a lot of companies jumping on the commercial bandwagon.
I have much respect for her Majesty, but my apologies as I won’t be contributing much / anything.
But to those that are... have a nice extended break.

As many are struggling to find the money to eat.

I’m not a great royalist but millions enjoy it so well worthwhile imo.

And many are stuck at the airport unable to fly abroad for their holiday.

I'm not a monarchist and have little interest in it, but just because there are poor people doesn't mean enjoyment should be outlawed. And lots of people will enjoy this celebration.
