24 monumental takedowns of Stonehenge’s Jubilee celebration
With the Platinum Jubilee celebrations rapidly approaching, it’s almost impossible to avoid the crowns, corgi cakes and communities falling over themselves to pay homage to the Queen.
English Heritage, the body overseeing many of England’s culturally important sites, shared their unique nod to the monarch.
