and visited 400 cities.

I love the queen. She even looks a bit like my mom. No queen in America so I adopted her.

Same here. She and my mom looked a lot alike.

Same here. She and my mom looked a lot alike.

I saw my mother in her features, and a friend of mine did likewise, and our mothers looked nothing alike.
I think it's an archetypal phenomenon of a maternal figure, one who has been familiar to us for many decades.
Bless her.

"Plans to build the statue of the late Queen,
as well as a new bridge in the central London park,
have been submitted to Westminster City Council.

The memorial has been described as an
'exceptional opportunity to commemorate and celebrate a figure beloved worldwide',
by the architects behind the plans.

But millionaire locals are not happy about the proposals
as the Queen Anne's Gate Residents Association has been firmly opposed to them.

"Westminster city council
granted permission for the St James’s Park scheme
during a planning sub committee meeting on Tuesday night.

Costing between £23 million and £46 million,
the project will include
a statue of the late head of state at Marlborough Gate
and a companion statue of Prince Phillip.

There will also be a bust of Queen Elizabeth II at the Birdcage Walk entrance to the park
as well as a glass bridge which will replace the existing walkway across the lake.

The statue has been designed by sculptor Martin Jennings
and is set to be built in the park,
in a section that will be called Queen Elizabeth II Place."
