00:00She was the face of a century, the rock of a nation.
00:04And even though she's gone, the world is about to stop once again for Queen Elizabeth II.
00:11Breaking news from the palace has just revealed the official plans for what would have been her 100th birthday.
00:18It's not just a memorial, it's a nationwide celebration that no one saw coming.
00:24But what exactly is the royal family planning to honor the woman who defined an era?
00:30Stay tuned, because the details are more moving than you can imagine.
00:34It's hard to believe, but the countdown to April 21, 2026 has officially begun.
00:41The British government, alongside the royal household, has announced the creation of the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Committee.
00:49Their mission? To ensure her 100th year is marked by something truly permanent.
00:55First up, the permanent tribute.
00:57The committee is commissioning a national memorial in her honor.
01:01Rumors are swirling that this could be a massive statue or a dedicated public space in the heart of London,
01:08designed to be a place of reflection for generations to come.
01:12But it's not all statues and ceremonies.
01:15The palace wants the public involved.
01:18We're hearing reports of a nationwide birthday party-style event.
01:22And yes, in true Queen Elizabeth fashion, there will be cake.
01:27Thousands of community events are being planned across the UK and the Commonwealth,
01:31encouraging people to come together just like they did during her record-breaking jubilees.
01:37Prince William and Catherine are expected to take a lead role in these celebrations,
01:42bridging the gap between the Queen's incredible legacy and the future of the monarchy.
01:47But the biggest question remains, how will the family mark this privately?
01:52Insiders say King Charles wants this to be a moment of joyful remembrance.
01:57It's a delicate balance of state-level pomp and the quiet love of a family missing their matriarch.
02:04A century of service, a lifetime of duty, and a celebration the world will never forget.
02:11So what do you think of these plans?
02:13Is a national memorial the best way to honor her?
02:16Or should they focus on something else?
