Queen starts global beacon lighting ceremony

Published

on

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has officially lit the Platinum Jubilee Beacon to mark a truly remarkable 70 years on the throne

The beacon lighting follows a day of pomp and ceremony, with the Queen putting on a brave face after suffering from mobility issues.

Queen Elizabeth has confirmed she will not be attending the upcoming Jubilee service at St Paul’s Cathedral, pulling out last minute after suffering discomfort.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace says the decision was made ‘with great reluctance’, after considering both the journey to the cathedral AND activity required.

The Palace says the onset of discomfort followed Thursday’s Birthday Parade event, with Prince Charles representing his mother at the ceremony instead.

But the monarch had vowed to light the beacon, and that is exactly what she did.

Taking great care as she walked out onto the grass of Windsor Castle, she is seen using a cane for support.

This particular event is an important tradition for special royal occasions, including jubilees, weddings and coronations.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has previously had a beacon lighting for her Silver, Gold and Diamond Jubilees, and her 90th birthday in 2016.

Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.


Australia has made history, becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. From midnight, platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram will be blocked for young users across the nation. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory actions ever taken on youth online safety.

The new law requires ten major digital platforms to comply or face fines of up to A$49.5 million. The decision comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, with other countries watching closely as they consider similar measures.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the ban is designed to support young Australians and reduce harmful pressures created by constant digital engagement. While platforms are preparing to use age-inference technology to comply, critics warn the ban could isolate vulnerable teens.
