If she were alive Elizabethon April 21 he would have “turned” 98. However, he left this vain world two years ago.
On the birthday of a small town in England, Ockham unveiled a bronze replica of its longest-living queen Britain. Her first monument was undertaken by the sculptor Hywel Pratley.
In contrast to the imposing and stern ‘versions’ of statues of previous British monarchs, Elizabeth is depicted as smiling, warm and approachable, in the company of her beloved corgis.
“This portrayal reflects many Britons’ memories of her as an almost maternal figure“, commented the sculptor.
According to New York Times many more statues of the monarch will follow.
The creation of the monument of the queen and leader of the church, has a height of 2 meters and 13 centimeters. It became a reality through crowdfunding set up by Rutland County Council to raise the €162,900 needed.
The local children took it upon themselves to paint her corgis, as she said Dr. Sarah Furness (local official) “what most of us remember about queen elizabeth is her warmth. By showing her love for her dogs, we show her humanity».
