On September 9 2015, the Queen will pass the record set by Queen Victoria to become the longest ever reigning monarch in British history.\u00a0Although September 9th 2015\u00a0marks a historical landmark for the United Kingdom,\u00a0 no official celebrations are planned. Instead, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh\u00a0\u00a0will visit Edinburgh, Midlothian and Tweedbank for the Scottish Borders Railway <\/a>opening celebrations on that day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Unofficial celebrations<\/h2>\n

Just as the subjects of George III marked his Golden Jubilee without him,\u00a0Treasure Hunts in London are marking the Queen’s special occasion by organising a Royalty-themed Treasure Hunt.<\/p>\n

For the Golden Jubilee of\u00a0George III on October 25 1809, the ageing monarch remained in seclusion at Windsor Castle. Very few of his subjects were able to see his modest celebration,\u00a0 and so they\u00a0arranged their own celebrations in locations across the country. According to The Telegraph <\/a>“Their disparate junketings included throwing cakes from the roof of the Market House in Abingdon and freeing Danish prisoners of war in Reading.” No cakes will be thrown nor prisoners released during this treasure hunt.<\/p>\n

Instead, as with other Treasure Hunts in London events, there will be themed clues to solve, puzzles, photo challenges and assignments. This hunt starts when the teams collect clue packs and ends\u00a0with a drink and \u00a0prize giving\u00a0at a nearby pub.<\/p>\n
