Aptly, considering Shooters Hills’ history as a beacon hill, Eaglesfield Park will host one of the 4000 beacons marking the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elzabeth II. The Royal Borough of Greenwich web site says it will be lit at 10.15pm tomorrow, 4th June:
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Beacons
Over 4,000 beacons will be lit across the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, as well as across the Commonwealth and UK Overseas Territories – and four of them will be in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Come down to watch your local beacon being lit at 10.15pm, with the help of Scouts, Army, Sea and Police Cadets.
