The design of the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial by Lord Foster includes an equestrian statue of the late Queen, a statue of Prince Philip, and a glass bridge symbolizing unity. Critics express mixed feelings towards the design; some appreciate its modern twist, while others believe a more traditional approach would have better honored the Queen's legacy. Foster's design juxtaposes traditional aspects with modern architecture, sparking discussions about the nature of memorials and what would truly represent the late monarch's values and legacy. The project reflects a blend of artistry, tradition, and contemporary relevance.
The design features a bridge inspired by the late Queen's wedding tiara, as well as statues depicting her on horseback and another of her walking arm-in-arm with Prince Philip.
The late Queen would have wished for something solid, unpretentious and no-nonsense to commemorate her unparalleled legacy; a new public building, or some tasteful and unostentatious sculpture.
