Monday 4th June Jubilee Beacon on the Jubilee Tower at the top of Moel Famau, North Wales. Created for the Golden Jubilee of King George III, it is now holding the Diamond Jubilee beacon for Queen Elizabeth II.
On the 4th June 2012, a beacon was lit for the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. The beacon was lit on top of the Jubilee Tower on top of Moel Famau Mountain in the Clwydian Range, North Wales. The Jubilee Tower was built in 1810 to commemorate the golden jubilee of George III. Designed by Thomas Harrison of Chester, it was to be an Egyptian styled obelisk, built in three stages. The tower was never completed however and in 1862 a strong storm blew it down. It was partially removed to make it safe and what you see today are the sturdy remains of the Tower. Located on the border of Flintshire and Denbighshire
