The Platinum Jubilee Pageant

From March 2021 to March 2023, Rosanna was the CEO of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant. She had 15 months to create a once in a lifetime spectacular event to thank Her Late Majesty; to look back with gratitude on 70 years of dedicated service, and, to look forward with optimism to our shared future.

From the outset, Rosanna wanted to create a lasting legacy past the day itself and to ensure that the Pageant had a positive impact on the communities it touched.

The project showcased everything that Rosanna is about – Event direction, coaching of team members and interns, speaking about the project, making a positive impact on the community and she managed to fit in a Channel Relay Swim in July 2021 too!
