DUP Cllr says 'I’m glad to say I wasn’t on the committee that designed it'
A council has defended a new statue commemorating Queen Elizabeth II after some online critics questioned its likeness to the late monarch.
The sculpture stands adjacent to a statue of the Queen’s late husband, Prince Philip, which was created by the same artist, and also features two of their many corgis. However, it has attracted more criticism than praise on social media, and received mixed review from visitors to the gardens. “I was involved in the Duke of Edinburgh statue and we got to see the mould before it was poured and we got to see what the image would be. We were quite happy with it, we did changes to his uniform to make it more country effective, rather than military.
“This memorial will stand as a lasting reminder of her dedication to service, her resilience and her ability to unite people across generations.”
