On Thursday 16 February, Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort will attend a celebratory reception at Milton Keynes’ Church of Christ the Cornerstone to mark Milton Keynes’ new status as a city, awarded as part of The late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
During the afternoon reception, Their Majesties will meet a range of community groups representing charitable, business, faith, environmental and arts organisations in Milton Keynes.
