Tiered seating is already being constructed outside the front of the palace, for guests attending celebrations including Trooping the Colour, Platinum Party at the Palace, and the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.Meanwhile, a 21-metre 'Tree of Trees' sculpture featuring 350 British native trees is also being built outside the palace to form a centerpiece to the celebrations and give a nod to the Queen's Green Canopy initiative which was created in honour of the Queen's platinum jubilee.
