United Kingdom Announces Plans For Fitting Tribute To Queen Elizabeth II

On Sunday, the UK government unveiled preliminary plans to build a permanent memorial to the late Queen Elizabeth II, as well as a national legacy initiative in her honor, in 2026.

The fitting tribute to Britain’s longest-reigning queen, who died in September last year at the age of 96 after 70 years on the throne, will be unveiled on what would have been her 100th birthday.

According to the Cabinet Office, a newly constituted institution, the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee, will study and approve options for the monument and legacy program.

According to the statement, the independent commission, which will be led by Robin Janvrin, the late sovereign’s former private secretary, would look at her life, decades of public service, and the causes she supported.

Janvrin, a member of the unelected House of Lords, described his selection as an honor.

“It will be a unique challenge for future generations to try to capture Her Late Majesty’s extraordinary contribution to our national life throughout her very long reign”, he continued.

Senior royal, political, and other leaders, as well as professionals, are expected to be named to the group, which will create ideas and make recommendations to her heir, King Charles III, and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

During the planning process, the committee will also solicit public input.

The government has stated that it will support the plans and look into funding sources.

“Queen Elizabeth II was our longest-reigning monarch and our greatest public servant”, stated Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden.

“Lord Janvrin will now begin the important work of designing a fitting tribute to her legacy of service to our nation and the Commonwealth”, Dowden added.
