The Queen Gets Corgily ComMEMORated: Statue Installed at Library

The highly anticipated statue of Queen Elizabeth II, fondly flanked by her beloved corgis, has finally arrived in Oakham, Rutland, this morning, the impressive sculpture was carefully positioned on its plinth within the library garden, setting the stage for the official unveiling ceremony next Sunday.

This tribute, crafted by sculptor Hywel Brân Pratley, depicts a youthful Queen Elizabeth in regal attire, with loyal corgi companions at her feet. It serves as a permanent reminder of the Queen's remarkable reign and her enduring affection for her Pembroke Welsh corgis.

Mark your calendars and prepare for a celebratory atmosphere next Sunday! 

To ensure a smooth event, roads surrounding the library and the market will be closed for the duration of the unveiling. This temporary inconvenience promises a grand spectacle honouring a cherished monarch.
