Daily creates ‘unique’ tribute to Queen ahead of Platinum Jubilee

A regional daily has created its own “unique tribute” to the Queen ahead of her Platinum Jubilee.

The Eastern Daily Press has published a 164-page glossy book chronicling her seven decades on the throne.

The book, Our Queen’s Platinum Reign, features hundreds of pictures from the Norwich-based daily’s archives, which stretch back to her childhood stays in Norfolk as the young Princess Elizabeth.

It also looks back on the “great state occasions and events that have shaped the world” since her ascension in 1952.

The book was edited by Archant’s archive editor Ben Craske and designed by Claire Leibrick, editorial design lead with Archant’s Creative Life.

Claire told the EDP: “This is a fantastic example of great story-telling through stunning historical images. It was a joy to work with such an impressive archive of photography.”

The book is available priced at £9.99.

The Jubilee will be celebrated over a four-day Bank Holiday weekend next month.
