Humber Bridge - UK's Highest Flagpole

Two flagpoles were installed on the Humber Bridge, one on top of each of the 510ft (156m) high towers as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.

Hi-Fliers were chosen to supply and install the flagpoles and flags, the highest installation by Hi-Fliers in its 30 year history.

In the lead up to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we firstly had to install the two base plates, which were drilled and secured in a very specific place at the top of the towers, allowing for the flagpoles to be raised and lowered along the top parapet. Following meticulous preparation and planning, including partial lane closure, the flagpoles were slowly hoisted up the outside of each tower (as they were too large to fit into the internal lift systems) before safely being secured and stored at the top, only to be raised on the day of the Jubilee.

To this day, the flagpoles are in storage at the top of the towers, ready to erect on future special occasions.
