Renowned architect Lord Foster will design a national memorial to Queen Elizabeth II, transforming St James’s Park with gardens and a bridge inspired by her wedding tiara. The project includes Commonwealth and UK gardens, two ceremonial gates, and a lightweight bridge symbolising unity with Prince Philip.
