The '''Diamond Jubilee''' was a street party in [[Varrock]] prepared for Elizabeth II. In celebration, Varrock square had been filled with tables for a Jubilee feast, special commemorative stalls and Jubilee themed decorations.

A number of visitors arrived in Varrock to mark the event, including characters such as [[Big Ben (Diamond Jubilee)|Big Ben]], [[Essjay]], and [[Will Shakenspear]]. In addition, extra [[guard]]s of Varrock were stationed around the city, along with special [[Queen's Guard|royal guards]], to ensure everything was safe. Most [[bank]]ers were on holiday, and their posts were being manned by the royal guards, giving them a well earned break.

There were a few special activities for players to take part in as part of the event, such as a search for lost [[corgi]]s and a [[Cryptic Clue Fest]]. Players taking part in these received special Jubilee themed prizes.

[[Minnie Coop]] has lost some of her [[corgi]] dogs and needs your help to find them. The dogs will be scattered around Gielinor.

The locations of the dogs are:
*[[Ardougne Market]] - In the middle of the market.
*[[Citharede Abbey]] - Near the dancers.
*[[Brimhaven]] - South of the Brimhaven docks.
*[[Castle Wars]] - Near the Summoning obelisk or in the building.
*[[Tree Gnome Stronghold]] - Near the entrance gate.
*[[Paterdomus]] - Next to the trapdoor leading to the mausoleum on Varrock side.
