Two colours make up the emblem of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee – platinum and Pantone 3515 C. The platinum colour represents Her Majesty's 70 years on the throne, whilst the purple colour is synonymous with royalty.
King George VI died at Sandringham, on February 6th 1952, in his sleep. After experiencing ill health, the King had a lung operation from which he failed to recover. He was 56-years-old. It's for this reason why the Queen chooses not to celebrate her anniversary – and in 2022 her Platinum Jubilee – on this date.
A diamond jubilee celebrates the 60th anniversary of a significant event related to a person (e.g. accession to the throne or wedding, among others) or the 60th anniversary of an institution's founding.
