May 22, 2012, 12:49 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- To mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee a network of more than 4,000 beacons will be lit across the world on Monday 4 June. The capital is centre stage of the action as the Queen lights the National Beacon on The Mall culminating the event at 10.30pm. Other beacons will be lit on the battlements of The Tower of London, St. James' Palace and Lambeth Palace. The event is hoping to win a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Prior to the lighting of the beacons, there will be a BBC Concert at Buckingham Palace that will include performances from Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Cliff Richards, Sir Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Annie Lennox, Madness and Jools Holland. Not only will this event be televised for viewers at home, but it will also be shown on giant screens in St. James' Park, Green Park and on The Mall.
