In June 2012, Queen Elizabeth 2 achieved sixty years on the British throne, her Diamond Jubilee.  Moreton in Essex and surrounding villages celebrated this event with an ox-roast. The carcase was roasted on a spit for twenty-four hours. About four tons of wood were consumed in the process.  Torrential rain overnight did not dampen the spirits of the team of stokers, turners and basters. Next day over 600 villagers enjoyed a succulent beef roll. After dark a beacon was lit along with many others around the country.
