To mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, hundreds of schools across the UK and the Commonwealth took part in a creative learning project, inspired by the late Queen’s love of nature.
Selected designs were made into silk flags which were paraded in front of Buckingham Palace as part of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

The flag designs have a scalloped edging to reference postage stamps, and each contains a silhouette of an inspirational leader. Chosen people include Marcus Rashford, Sir David Attenborough and Charlie the dinner lady!
The flags were then displayed in the Sammy Ofer Wing of the National Maritime Museum. This exhibition is now closed, but you can still find out more about the project and participating schools via the Thames Festival Trust website
