In honour of the Queen's upcoming Platinum Jubilee, one of the UK’s largest pub chains is offering up pints for just 6p today, Monday 30 May.
To kick off the monarch's 70th-anniversary celebrations, Greene King Local Pubs is taking its prices back to the 50s.
For one day only, its fan-favourite IPA is available to purchase over the bar for just 6p a pint - the same price it cost in 1952 when the Queen's coronation took place.

It's a great deal for any self-respecting ale lover looking to save a few pennies - but be warned, you’ll need to know the secret code to get your hands on one.
Dozens of pubs right across Leeds and West Yorkshire are taking part in the one-day-only offer.
So, how exactly do you claim a 6p pint then? Well, all you’ll need to do is head on up to the bar at any participating Greene King sites and say the password “1952”.
Anyone visiting a Greene King Local Pub or a Flaming Grill site on Monday 30 May will be able to claim a 6p pint of Greene King’s IPA by speaking the magic words.
Speaking on the special offer, Andrew Gallagher, Marketing Director at Greene King Local Pubs, said: “The Platinum Jubilee is a fantastic way for the U.K. to come together and celebrate our Queen and country, so we wanted to take our customers back to where it all began– 1952, a time when Vera Lynn ruled the charts and pints were only 6p.
“Some of our regulars may even remember watching the coronation back in 1952, although they may have been too young to enjoy a pint then.
"We can’t wait to see our customers enjoy this royally good deal on Monday 30 May, and look forwarding to celebrating the Platinum Jubilee in all our pubs across the bank holiday weekend.”

Korn have announced a major Manchester gig as part of a new UK tour – their first in more than a decade.
The nu metal legends will be heading to the First Direct Bank Arena later this year, making a monumental return to British shores.
And they’ve announced very special guests will be joining them on the tour too – support will come from Architects, as well as Youth Code.
Korn burst onto the scene back in 1991 with their seminal self-titled debut album, and have gone on to release a whopping 14 studio albums.
The Californian group have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammy Awards, and headed out on countless world tours.
They’re often cited by newer bands as a major influence and have pushed the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres.
The Ringer has described Korn as ‘a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now’.
As well as performing in Leeds, Korn will play at venues across the UK including in Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and London.
They’ll be joined by Architects, a British metalcore band who have continued to top the charts even after the tragic death of founding member, guitarist, and principal songwriter Tom Searle.
Korn will be at our very own First Direct Bank Arena on Monday 26 October, with pre-sale tickets available from Tuesday 17 March at 8am, before a general on-sale from Friday 20 March at 8am.
Run, don't walk - as we reckon these tickets will fly off the shelves.
A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is set to open in Leeds this spring
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley very soon.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok girlies, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.m
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and although we don't have a confirmed opening date we've got a feeling they'll be 'scooping' very soon.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
