Jubilee here, Jubilee there, Jubilee everywhere. From Union Jack underwear and limited edition Marmite (Ma'amite, nice), to hundreds of afternoon tea parties and Fortnum & Mason's inclusion of Heinz Baked Beans on their menu, it seems like everybody's cashing in on Queenie's diamond anniversary. Here are UJ's pickings for the big weekend. One more thing - corgi paraphernalia is a must. |

GET BOOZY:
MOËT & CHANDON EXCLUSIVE CUVÉE
|
 |
|
And the chosen street party tipple shall be… Moët & Chandon's Diamond Jubilee Cuvée. They did the same for the Gold and Silver celebrations, but this is the first time they're available to buy. Cheers to that.

|
|
Moët & Chandon Diamond Jubilee Cuvée available from Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Waitrose and Selfridges from £31.99 |

FUN FOR ALL:
THE BIG ROOFTOP TEA
AND GOLF PARTY |
|
|
An emerald green lake (of punch), inhalable gin and tonic, glow in the dark jelly - you'd think gastro-masters/jellymongers Bompas and Parr would run out of ideas eventually. Well they haven't. As part of Selfridges' Big British Bang celebrations, the pair have set up a 9-hole mini-golf course on the Selfridges rooftop - and it's made out of cake. Daylesford Café will be up there too, serving tea with a twist and nibbles, so try to resist nibbling your surroundings. |

BURGER:
QUEEN'S JUBILEE BURGER BASH WITH PATTY & BUN |
|
|
No celebration is complete without a celebratory burger creation. Byron will be serving the Chilli Queen - a green chilli and chipotle mayo cheeseburger - this weekend only, while Patty and Bun will be serving up their delicious buns on the Queen of Hoxton's rooftop. Stick around for a late night screening on Sunday. |

FLY THE FLAG:
CONRAN FLAG |
|
|
Union Jack décor has been old news for a while now, but this one we want: a cashmere and silk blend bit of patriotism that doubles up as a scarf. |

Union Jack Scarf,
available from The Conran Shop, £175 |

PARTY:
BOUJIS RIGHT ROYAL KNEES-UP |
|
|
Boujis have gone all out for the Jubilee. Not only are they covering the exterior of the building with a Union Jack vinyl, they are also opening their doors to non-members. It's all very Cool Britannia - expect bunting, props, fancy dress (done well), special cocktails and old school projections of Her Royal Highness on the wall. |

JOIN US:
GOD SAVE THE CLAM |
|
|
God Save the… Clam. A punk rock take on Clam Bake on a rooftop in London Fields, this is a Jubilee celebration with a rebellious twist. Barbecue legends Pitt Cue and seafood faring Rock Lobsta will join forces to cook up a feast (and there's also a sundae bar). Drinks come in the form of Meantime beer and Cuervo Tradicional cocktails (and a little extra from us). There are still tickets left for the UJ session on Sunday at 2.40pm. See you there! |
