Renowned architect Lord Foster has won the bid to design the national memorial to Queen Elizabeth II, a project set to transform St James’s Park with a "contemplative" tribute to the nation’s longest-reigning monarch.
Key features include a statue of the Queen in a new civic space called Queen Elizabeth II Place at Marlborough Gate, a new Prince Philip Gate on the other side of the park on Birdcage Walk with a statue of Philip.
