It seems there more to it than just the above statue - there's another statue featuring the Queen and Prince Philip, a set of gates, gardens, and a glass bridge based on the design of the Queen's wedding tiara.

There's no set date for it to be completed and the cost is expected to be between £23m-£46m - the equivalent of housing asylum seekers for 3-5 days!

 I think most people here picked that one. If it looks as good as the artists impression, it will be magnificent.

It's also touching and right, that a statue with both the Queen and Prince Philip will be commissioned. They were a couple from start to finish. Brilliant monarch that she was,  she openly said she could do what she did because he was her constant support by her side.

 Completely agree, it's a fantastic choice.

 The statue with Prince Philip reminds me of a final scene in a Disney movie - I can imagine cartoon butterflies and bluebirds flying around them while the credits roll.

 🥳 Great! That one was always a no-brainer, imo.

It‘s magnificent - and no less than she deserves nod
