The fourth annual event will take place on Sunday 3 June 2012. As announced by Buckingham Palace The Big Jubilee Lunch will be a part of the main programme of events over the central weekend of Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Since starting in 2009, thousands of Big Lunches have taken place in all kinds of communities and the best part of a million people have taken part each year. A record number of people are expected to take part in the Big Jubilee Lunch this year.
