Brill Flags for the Jubilee

A community art project to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. Over 70 flags were produced by Brill groups and families, illustrating the things we cherish and want to protect about our lives in Brill.

Brill celebrates Queen Elizabeth’s
Platinum Jubilee

In the Spring of 2022, we asked the people of Brill to design and paint flags to celebrate what we all love and appreciate about life in our community in the 70th year of The Queen’s reign, and to look forward and express hopes and dreams for the future.

We wanted people to identify the things we cherish and would like to protect for future generations - and to imagine how our communities and environment might develop and prosper for the benefit of all in the future. Here are the results. We hope you are as thrilled as we are with the thoughtfulness and creativity of all our wonderful Flag Makers!

Thank you to all the people who helped: the flag hemmers and pole fetchers, Brill Sports & Social Club for distribution of the packs, Brill Scouts for the use of their hut for processing the finished flags, and the flagpole erectors (and dismantlers).
