1. In celebration of the life and reign of our beloved Queen Elizabeth II Marker
This mosaic commemorates the continuity and stability of the British monarchy through The Queen's 70-year reign between 1952 and 2022.
The left-hand roundel represents The Queen's dedication to her role and the kindness and care with which she carried out her duties as the Head of State.
The central roundel presents a regal image of The Queen adorned with her crown and a beautiful string of pearls which personify her dignity and grace.
The final roundel reminds us of the simple things that signify The Queen's warmth and humanity; a hat, a handbag and her beloved corgis.
It is wonderful to see the ideas of the children come to life through this beautiful art piece!
May Queen Elizabeth II always be remembered with warmth and affection for the lasting impact that she made during her 70-year reign.
