Available at the park’s ice cream parlour, the chilly treat will be two-tone vanilla (white) and strawberry (red) with a blue raspberry ripple running through it, matching the colours of the Union Jack flag.
Rachel James, Wicksteed Park’s head of sales and marketing, said: “The Queen has become the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee and we wanted to do something to help people mark her 70 years of service in a fun way.
“Ice cream is a great addition to any celebration and what better way to mark the occasion than tucking into something that is both delicious and patriotic at the same time?
