Queen Elizabeth memorial to include bridge inspired by her tiara

# The winning design for the national memorial for Queen Elizabeth will feature a bridge with a balustrade made of glass, new gates and commemorative gardens. Lord Norman Foster’s design team has been announced as the winner of the competition for a memorial to honour Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, to be built in St James’s Park in central London. The translucent bridge is inspired by the shape of the late Queen’s wedding tiara. The design will also feature her husband Prince Philip, alongside a traditional, large statue of the late Queen overlooking the Mall.
