Jubilee Time Capsule

Share your story in the World's BIGGEST History Project!

People's Voice Media have paired up with the Royal Commonwealth Society to collect peoples stories from the past 60 years!

Here's some JTC content we've collected so far...take a look at these photos of the Silver Jubilee back in 1977...also read this interesting article called 'The Day I conquered a Fear' and also watch this video that Jarvis filmed of himself...'The Day I became Mascot'.

So what has been the most important/best day in your life so far??

For everybody who takes part, will be entered in a prize draw to win a visit to the Commonwealth Day Observance 2012. This event will be attended by Her Majesty the Queen, the Prime Minister, High Commissioners and other VIP's! So get your thinking caps on...and tell us your story!
