Make a phonemic (broad) transcription of the following passage:

1. The Diamond Jubilee has been a multinational celebration marking the 60th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II to the thrones of seven countries.

2. The first major event of the jubilee celebrations was the Diamond Jubilee Pageant, a cavalcade held at Windsor Castle to celebrate the Queen’s visits to and tours of over 250 countries and her passion for horses. The show, which featured 550 horses and 1,100 performers from around the world.

3. Then, on the 3rd of June, the River Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant was held. It was a maritime parade of 1,000 boats from around the Commonwealth—the largest flotilla seen on the river in 350 years. Heavy rain started during the event, and the commemorative airforce fly past at the end was cancelled due to very low cloud base and bad visibility at ground level. The event was attended by various governors- general from the Commonwealth realms other than the UK.

4. The night after the Thames River Pageant, Prince Philip, the Queen’s husband, fell ill with a bladder infection and was taken to hospital. This meant that he was unable to attend the remainder of the Jubilee events.

5. Members of the Royal Family and prime ministers from the Commonwealth realms attended various events on 4 and 5 June: A reception was held at Buckingham Palace before the Diamond Jubilee Concert on Monday and a service of thanksgiving took place Tuesday at St. Paul’s Cathedral, also attended by 2,000 other guests.

6. The lighting of thousands of beacons across the Commonwealth took place on 4 June. The number of beacons was originally set at 2,012; by the closing date for registrations, approximately 4,000 had been submitted in the United Kingdom alone. The first beacon of the Jubilee was lit Tonga, by Tongan girl scouts and boy scouts using coconut sheath torches. Other nations including Kenya, Australia, New Zealand, India, Sri Lanka, and several Caribbean states took part in the beacon lighting. The world’s most remote beacon was lit in the south Atlantic. The Queen also lit a beacon outside Buckingham Palace on Tuesday at 10:30 pm, by inserting a large, specially made, diamond-cut crystal into a receptacle. The lighting proceeded until the final beacon was lit in Canada eight hours later.
