00:02We are going for the Queen in the early part of her reign, for the statue on the Mall.
00:10If I said Thinkanagoni, it's the Queen as the young Queen, and we think that that's
00:23probably what most people would like to be remembered when they were young.
00:31But at the Birdcage Walk end, we will have a bust of the Queen in what I would call later
00:41years.
00:42Not very old, but probably when she was in her fifties, sixties.
00:47Because she did reign for so long, there are these different images, but we will go for
00:56the younger Queen on the Mall.
01:00The King praised the final design for the National Memorial to Queen Elizabeth II as fantastic,
01:07on what would have been his mother's 100th birthday.
01:11Charles and Camilla viewed a scale model of the tribute at the British Museum on Tuesday,
01:16and maquette of the late monarch and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
01:21Full scale versions of the statues will form part of the permanent memorial in St James'
01:27Park, with the national tribute set to be completed in 2028.
01:34We thought it was very important that the statue of the Queen, our head of state, was on the
01:43ceremonial route and a statue in her own right.
01:49And that was, she will be depicted standing and, as it were, on her own.
01:59But Prince Philip was such an important part.
02:02They worked as a team at such an important part of the realm that we've decided that he
02:10should be a few paces behind the Queen, a position that he was well accustomed to.
02:18And he will, I hope, be, as it were, in eye contact or certainly looking towards the Queen.
02:28But a statue of him on his own, in his own right, because he was someone who made a huge
02:36contribution
02:36in his own right, whether it was the Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme, what he did for
02:42conservation, design, engineering.
02:45He deserves, if you like, his own statue.
02:50But they're together.
02:51They're together as they were throughout the reign.
02:57But all of them have made a...
02:59...
02:59You
