(CBS News) Britain is marking Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee this weekend with four-days of festivities, including a 1,000-boat parade down the River Thames, and a concert with fireworks at Buckingham Palace.

But you don't have to be in London to celebrate the monarch's 60-year reign. You can throw a own party at home, no matter which side of the pond you're on.
