King Charles Unveils Queen Elizabeth Memorial

0:00On April 20, King Charles Martwood would have been his mother, Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday with a touching video message from Balmoral. He called her his darling mama and praised her lifelong dedication to public service amid massive changes, but he noted she likely frowned on today's troubled world. On Tuesday, the final design of a bronze statue gets shown to the King and Queen Camilla. Sculpted by Martin Jennings, it depicts a young queen in her order of the garter robes inspired by a 1955 painting. Nearly 10 feet tall, it'll stand on an 11 foot plinth in St. James's Park. The memorial captures her strong sense of duty for future generations as the committee aimed to highlight. It also features a bust of her in later years, a statue of Prince Philip and a rebuild bridge with a tiara-like glass edge all designed by Lord, Foster's team. There's more to the project with a digital side. A new website at QueenElizabeth.com collects personal memories, builds an archive of royal history and digitizes the court circular.

1:05Plus, a nationwide Queen Elizabeth Trust will fund community projects to unite people. Charles wrapped up urging optimism in her legacy where goodness triumphs and brighter days follow. From kind words to that iconic pattington bear moment, her spirit lives on, inspiring peace, justice, and hope for tomorrow.
