00:05statue planned for central London. The
00:07tribute will overlook the Mall near
00:09St James's Park featuring a bronze
00:12sculpture by artist Martin Jennings
00:14inspired by a 1955 portrait of the

00:20rain robes of the Order of the Garter
00:22with a separate statue of Prince Philip
00:24placed behind in his naval uniform.
00:27Miniature models of the design are now
00:29on display at the British Museum ahead of
00:32a royal family viewing of the plans. A bust
00:34portraying Queen Elizabeth in her more
00:36mature years will also be created by
00:38artist Karen Newman and placed on the
00:40opposite side of the park.
