The Ruby Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 1992 marked the 40th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II on 6 February 1952. Contrary to her Silver Jubilee in 1977, it was not regarded as an "official" jubilee. However, the milestone was marked with a number of events and community projects.
The term "Ruby Jubilee" was not officially, nor indeed more generally, used in 1992; rather the occasion was referred to as the "40th Anniversary of the Queen's Accession".
