THE QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE
SUNDAY 10th July
Fairmont Hotel and Bungalows
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration, with lead sponsor Virgin Atlantic Airways, at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica, was a smashing success! Attendees were entertained by such remarkable talents as Legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold (voted no. 1 DJ in the world by DJ Magazine); a 9-piece Amy Winehouse Tribute Band Dear Amy; a Beatles Tribute Band Plastic Soul; singing sensation Victoria Summer (renowned as Julie Andrews in Disney’s Saving Mr. Banks alongside Tom Hanks); and Lauren Samuels (London West End singing star and host of the new podcast, A Brit in LA).
Produced by the BABC LA in partnership with BritWeek, the event provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate both the Queen’s 70 years of service to the UK and the Commonwealth, and celebrate too the US-UK’s special relationship. Attendees included British Consul General Emily Cloke, who made the toast to The Queen; BritWeek Co-Founder Nigel Lythgoe, OBE PhD; CNN’s royalty expert Sandro Monetti; and many honoured dignitaries, celebrities and leaders from the British and American business communities. Katy Haber, MBE was honoured for her many years of charitable services, as was the late Christopher Guy Harrison, with the announcement of the BritWeek Christopher Guy Design Icon Award.
BritWeek Chairman Nigel Daly OBE and BABC LA President James Langridge thank everyone who helped make this such a special day.
