Sculptor wants Queen Elizabeth II statue to be 'object of delight'
A renowned sculptor has said he is "thrilled" to have been chosen to create a statue of Queen Elizabeth II for a new national memorial, saying he would like it to be an "object of delight for people".
Martin Jennings, who has also portrayed the Queen Mother and King Charles in past works, told Sky News he was "delighted" when he received the call saying he'd been invited to join the project. "I mean, I was absolutely thrilled," he said.
"It's a terrific commission to be asked to do and to be quite honest, I can't quite remember what the rest of the phone call was all about - I was so delighted to have been appointed." Mr Jennings will now set about creating the statue of the late Queen in the planned national memorial in London called Queen Elizabeth II Place. It will provide the public with a permanent space to commemorate the country's longest-reigning monarch, who died in 2022.
He said that while the design for the statue is yet to be decided, he would like for it to have a sense of "stillness.
