Celebrations extend far beyond London. Birmingham plans a celebration lunch, pageant, and more. Manchester and Bristol also have lunch on the schedule. The Governor General of Canada created a special medal to honor Canadians who have served their country and beacons will be lit on Canada House in London as part of the ceremonies. Many special events are planned in cities and towns throughout the UK and other areas.
Marketers are joining the party, as well. Virgin Atlantic is throwing a party in New York City, and asking the mayor to change the name of the park from Union Square to Union Jack Square for the day. (Watch for #UnionJackSquare on Twitter to find out whether the name is changed.)
