    Statue of Queen Elizabeth 11 unveiled at York Minster

    I can't wait to go into town to see this statue. The Minster is so beautiful and now it has our late Queen on it

    I saw this on the news this morning.
    Sorry,but i don't like her face on the statue.
    Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

      This was some criticism (and a lot of praise) for it on a local page.

      The statue is high up on the Minster wall and I think it will look very good.

        At first glance, I though the statue looked a bit stern and more matronly than I think she ever looked in real life, but as it weathers I'm sure it will look gentler.

          I will take a photo of it from the ground when I can.

              Yes we said the same Daisy , they make her look stern when I fact she had a beautiful smile and I don’t think it is avery good likeness ,
              Having said that it will be lovely to see such a great tribute to her on such a fantastic building .

                My feeling is that such detail will not be seen from ground level, but I will check it out and report back!

                  She looks very Imperial, a bit like Queen VIctoria's statues. Not sure it does her justice, but maybe if it's far enough above the ground, nobody will notice.

                    WeeGranny, it reminded me of Queen Victoria as well - more the pose than actual features, but still that rather imperious look.
