Guests at the museum viewed a scale model of the Queen Elizabeth Memorial, which will include statues of the late Queen and Prince Philip, and a “family of gardens” through St James’s Park with meandering paths and a new translucent, glass unity bridge.
The King has paid tribute to Elizabeth II in a video message, in which he called her his “darling mama” who “remained constant, steadfast and wholly devoted to the people she served”.
He added: “Much about the times we now live in, I suspect, may have troubled her deeply, but I take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail and that a brighter dawn is never far from the horizon.
“For, as a young Princess Elizabeth put it in her first ever public broadcast, aged just 14, we can each play our part ‘to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place’.
“It is a belief which I share, with all my heart.”
