Queen Elizabeth honoured with new monument to celebrate her life & legacy on what would have been her 100th year
A MONUMENT to Queen Elizabeth II will be unveiled to honour her life and legacy.
The sculpture will be open to the public in St James’s Park, London, in 2026 – which would have been the monarch’s centenary year.
Plans to create a national legacy programme and a permanent memorial were made following the Queen’s death on September 8, 2022.
Her former private secretary, Lord Robin Janvrin, was made chair of a special committee which has worked with the Government and Royal Household to create this monument.
He passed away at the age of 82 following an important career within the Royal Family.
An announcement about the nature of the sculpture is set to take place this weekend on the two-year anniversary of her death, the Mirror reports.
Queen Elizabeth II’s memorial is set to be erected near the statue of Queen Victoria, which is located outside Buckingham Palace on The Mall.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said they would not comment on speculation.
The news comes after Queen Camilla gave an update on King Charles’ cancer, saying the monarch is “doing very well”.
Camilla visited the Royal United Hospitals in Bath earlier this week to open the new Dyson Cancer Centre there.
She met several patients undergoing chemotherapy at the centre.
Macmillan Cancer Support worker Suzy Moon asked after Charles during Camilla’s visit.
When Moon asked “Is he OK?”, Camilla replied: “Yes, he is doing very well.”
Charles has been taking his end-of-summer holiday at the Balmoral Castle estate in Aberdeenshire.
The King’s cancer ordeal began in January when he revealed he needed a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate.
He decided to allow the public to know what he was going through, which resulted in a huge outpouring of sympathy.
Brave Charles was touched by the public reaction but also significantly buoyed when it was revealed the NHS website received 11 times more daily visits from men with similar concerns.
