Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee is in full swing. The official birthday of the queen kicked off Thursday with Trooping the Colour and the lighting of the beacons.

Friday's main event is the Service of Thanksgiving. Queen Elizabeth herself will not be attending the event due to "some discomfort." The Service of Thanksgiving is one event of many to occur throughout the week and weekend as Britain celebrates 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

It follows Silver, Gold and Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1977, 2002 and 2012, which marked 25, 50 and 60 years on the throne.

Jubilees are usually marked with a combination of ceremonial military displays, a church service and street parties. The events began on June 2 and will continue through June 5.
