A wonderful shot of The King greeting @abcholmes, a founding Trustee of the Queen Elizabeth Trust last week at @britishmuseum.
Today The King and Queen were joined by other members of the Royal Family at the British Museum to view a scale model of the new national memorial to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II.
Their Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses met memorial designer Lord Norman Foster as well as the three artists producing work for the site. The model will remain on public display at the British Museum.
The tribute will overlook The Mall in central London, and is inspired by the 1955 portrait of the Queen at age 28 by Italian artist Pietro Annigon.

The national memorial to Queen Elizabeth aims to transform a historic part of central London, St James’s Park, into an inspiring new public space – a place where people can gather and connect, relax and reflect.
