If you're joining in the festivities, make sure you put your own patriotic stamp on personalised mugs and placemats ahead of the occasion, minus the royal budget.
There's something for everyone with personalised phone covers, canvas print, a bag for life or even cushion carrying a picture of how you celebrate the event.
But however you choose to mark the occasion on June 2-5, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is set to be one for the history books.
When Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee on June 20 and 21 in 1887, the two-day festivities concluded with a procession through London which "stretched to the limit of sight in both directions" according to Mark Twain.

The festivities begin on Saturday, 2 June when the Queen attends the Epsom Derby, before the bunting goes up for The Big Jubilee Lunch on Sunday.
One highlight of the Jubilee weekend will see thousands of well-wishers turn out to see the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh travelling along the Thames on the royal barge on June 2.
Between 2pm and 6pm, around 1,000 ships, boats and yachts from around world will take to the water for the flotilla, which will be one of the largest ever assembled on the river.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to join the royal couple on the lavishly decorated barge, along with Prince of Wales, the pageant’s patron, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry.
Celebrations continue with a star-studded concert set against the backdrop of Buckingham Palace on Monday, with Gary Barlow bringing together some of the biggest names in music including Elton John, Jessie J and Ed Sheeran.
A network of 2,012 beacons will be lit in communities across the UK, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the Commonwealth and the Queen will light the National Beacon.
