Diamond Jubilee
Discuss6on this wiki
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, Essjay, and Will Shakenspear. In addition, extra guards of Varrock were stationed around the city, along with special royal guards, to ensure everything was safe. Most bankers 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 corgis and a Cryptic Clue Fest. Players taking part in these received special Jubilee themed prizes.

Jubilee ActivitiesEdit
Lost corgisEdit
Minnie Coop has lost some of her corgi dogs and needs your help to find them. The dogs will be scattered around Gielinor. By helping finding her dogs, you will get a cute little corgi as a pet permanently (you can also take them for a short walk in Varrock without doing Minnie's corgi hunt).
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.
For extended information on the locations, see the Minnie Coop article.
Cryptic Clue FestEdit
The Queen is soon to arrive but the procession is still not ready for the occassion. Big Ben, in charge of the procession, and his assistant, Essjay, need the player's help to make sure that all is ready in time. Essjay will give the player instructions in the form of the fourth Cryptic Clue Fest. The clue fest started on 1 June, with clues being revealed on the RuneScape Official Forums At the Quick find code: 199-200-665-63754740
