"The tribute will overlook The Mall in central London, near the entrance of the new St James's Park memorial. The bronze sculpture, by Martin Jennings, will take inspiration from the 1955 portrait of the Queen at age 28 by Italian artist Pietro Annigon."
"Lord Janvrin, the chairman of the Queen Elizabeth memorial committee, described it as a 'lovely, iconic image'. The work will be dressed in the robes of the Order of the Garter, and 20 meters behind the structure a smaller statue of Prince Philip will stand."
"The Queen's figure will stand almost 10ft tall on a 14ft plinth whilst the statue of the duke will be 7ft 6in tall on a 4ft 9in plinth. A bust of a more mature version of the Queen will be created by the artist Karen Newman."

A bust of a more mature Queen will also be created. The memorial is expected to be completed by 2028.
