Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebration will feature a sari created with sustainable recycled plastics displayed on four-metre-high puppets.
More than 200,000 local events and street parties are expected across all parts of the UK for the mega Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II's 70 years on the British throne.
A series of events have been lined up over the course of the extended Bank Holiday weekend between Thursday and Sunday, which will also feature a sari created with sustainable recycled plastics displayed on four-meter-high puppets.
The sari accompanies a special Bollywood-themed Wedding Party ensemble at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant finale on Sunday curated by UK's South Asian performance company Nutkhut.
"To re-imagine the sari, a timeless garment, for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Pageant is both an honour and a joy," said Nutkhut Co-Artistic Director Simmy Gupta, about the sari designed by renowned Irish fashion designer Paul Costelloe and created as a group project by Arts University Bournemouth students.
