The Queen chose this statue's design on York Minster.
She never saw it unveiled.
Queen Elizabeth II's statue was planned to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.
It was due to be unveiled in September 2022 the same month she passed away.
On 9 November 2022, King Charles unveiled it in her memory instead.
There's meaning in the smaller details, too: her pose was designed to suggest protection around the orb and sceptre.
York is full of people remembered in stone.
It feels different when the face is one you grew up with. – at York, England

This is really exciting news and is the result of campaigning over many years.
This is an ambitious solution that could solve this problem.
It’s now important to help get the details right and I will be working hard with others to make sure that we do.

It's been another busy week for the Southwark Liberal Democrats in Joint Administration - from housing to transport and the environment, councillors across the council have been working hard to make Southwark more affordable, safe, and green.
I was delighted to attend the first Community Skip Day at the weekend. I hope to see more of these across #Southwark

We're marking National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
Southwark had over 800 reports of hate crimes in the last year - that's 800 too many.
We're committed to rooting out all forms of hatred and discrimination wherever it is found.

An excellent example from Windsor of how we can improve old streets with new, popular Gentle Density which both increases height and improves the town. All polling suggests this would be popular with ~80% of the public.
