Mike Dean, Tourism Development Executive for St Helena says: “We are looking forward to welcoming the beacons and playing a part in the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations. Even though we will be the most remote destination to be part of the occasion, there is a strong sense of patriotism and festive spirit as we prepare to light the beacons. We will be celebrating in style in St Helena with a 12-hour extravaganza from 10am to 10pm. Celebrations will include a parade, a fair and much more.”Lying 1,500 miles north-west of Cape Town, the undiscovered island of St Helena boasts stunning natural beauty and is steeped in history – perhaps best known as the place of Napoleon’s exile. An airport is currently under construction
