Lord Foster reveals vision for Queen Elizabeth II memorial

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.

Lord Foster says it’s a “blessing” to help tell Her Majesty’s story in a space for all.

Pope’s Funeral: Trump, Melania Lands in Rome for Pope Francis' Funeral Amid Seating Row Speculation [Video]

Pope’s Funeral: Trump, Melania Lands in Rome for Pope Francis' Funeral Amid Seating Row Speculation

Donald Trump and Melania arrived in Rome to attend Pope Francis’ historic funeral, joining dozens of world leaders in Vatican City. As final tributes poured in, questions over seating arrangements stirred quiet tensions, especially for Trump—who previously criticized his predecessor’s distant placement at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. With Argentina and Italy taking protocol precedence, other guests, including royalty and heads of state, are seated alphabetically. While Trump faces a "third-tier" position, Vatican experts assure the event will be a masterclass in managing egos and international dignitaries with delicate diplomacy. #DonaldTrump #MelaniaTrump #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpNews #VaticanFuneral #WorldLeaders #USPolitics #Royals #SeatingSnub #HumiliatingMoment #FuneralSeating #InternationalProtocol #TrumpVsBiden #PopeFuneral #TrumpMelania #TrumpMocked #RoyalProtocol #BidenFuneralSeating #TrumpVaticanVisit #TrumpInternational Also Read ‘I Am Close To India, Pakistan...': US President Donald Trump On Pahalgam Terrorist Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-am-close-to-india-pakistan-donald-trump-on-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-4135507.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc

Pope’s Funeral: Trump to Get ‘Humiliating’ Third-Row Seats at Funeral as Royals Take Front Row

U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are set to attend Pope Francis’ funeral but will reportedly be seated in the third row—behind Catholic and non-Catholic royalty. The UK Telegraph dubbed the placement “humiliating,” especially after Trump had mocked Biden’s 14th-row spot at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. World leaders, including Trump, will sit alphabetically by country (in French), possibly placing the Trumps near Estonia or Eswatini. The optics of this seating have stirred buzz online and could reignite debates on America's global status and Trump’s past remarks. #DonaldTrump #MelaniaTrump #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpNews #VaticanFuneral #WorldLeaders #USPolitics #Royals #SeatingSnub #HumiliatingMoment #FuneralSeating #InternationalProtocol #TrumpVsBiden #PopeFuneral #TrumpMelania #TrumpMocked #RoyalProtocol #BidenFuneralSeating #TrumpVaticanVisit #TrumpInternational Also Read ‘I Am Close To India, Pakistan...': US President Donald Trump On Pahalgam Terrorist Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-am-close-to-india-pakistan-donald-trump-on-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-4135507.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.121~
