Jubilee beacons: Your pictures

Diamond Jubilee picture galleries

More than 4,000 beacons have been lit across the Commonwealth as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. You've been sending us your pictures. Here the beacon on Llangynidr Mountain is surrounded by members of the Jubilee Committee in Llangynidr, Powys, Wales who helped erect it. Photo: Timothy Evans.

And here is the Llangynidr beacon alight. Gemma Evans said: "Many people worked very hard to make this beacon lighting a success."

Alva Scouts constructed and erected a permanent beacon on the front of The Nebit, overlooking Alva in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, to celebrate both the Diamond Jubilee and the Centenary of Scouting in Alva. Photo: John Spruce.
