Z Elizabeto II. je slavilo celotno kraljestvo
The whole kingdom celebrated with Elizabeth II
Written by Sandra Hanžič, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Kralje in kraljice, prince in princese verjetno poznaš samo iz pravljic.
You probably only know kings and queens, princes and princesses from fairy tales.
Vendar niso tako redki niti v resničnem svetu. V Evropi je še vedno veliko kraljevih družin, ki pa imajo v družbi bolj ali manj samo še simbolno vlogo.
However, they are not so rare even in the real world. There are still many royal families in Europe, but they have more or less only a symbolic role in society.
Ena najbolj prepoznavnih je angleška kraljeva družina, katere vodja – kraljica Elizabeta II. – letos praznuje kar 70 let na prestolu! To pomeni, da je najdlje na čelu v vsej zgodovini britanske monarhije.
One of the most recognizable is the British royal family, whose leader - Queen Elizabeth II - celebrates 70 years on the throne this year! This is the longest in the entire history of the British monarchy.
V Združenem kraljestvu so včeraj zaključili štiridnevno slavje. V četrtek in petek so imeli celo dela prost dan.
A four-day celebration ended in the UK yesterday. They even had a day off on Thursday and Friday.
Na ulicah se je zbralo nekaj milijonov ljudi, po državi pa je potekalo vsaj 16.000 dogodkov.
Several million people gathered in the streets, and at least 16,000 events took place across the country.
Na sobotni paradi je bilo 1500 vojakov, 250 konjev, nekaj 100 glasbenikov in več kot 70 letal.
Saturday’s parade featured 1,500 soldiers, 250 horses, some 100 musicians and more than 70 aircraft.
Na sporedu je bila platinasta zabava, na kateri so pred 22.000-glavo množico nastopili številni zvezdniki. Polovico udeležencev so izbrali z žrebom. Za konec so včeraj imeli slavnostni sprevod.
