Platinum Jubilee: Time-lapse shows set-up in front of Buckingham Palace

A time-lapse shows preparations being made ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The area outside Buckingham Palace is being transformed for events such like Trooping of Colour, lighting of the beacons and the Platinum Party at the Palace.

A national celebration of the Queen's 70 years of service will culminate in a four-day UK bank holiday weekend in June.
