The tribute to our longest-serving monarch, who died in 2022, will be sited near Buckingham Palace and cost up to £46MILLION.

Three designs show the Queen riding, including one on a bed of lilies depicting togetherness, another on a bedrock for fortitude.

There is an oak for steadfastness, and intertwined bridges for her many works.

The public have until May 19 to give their views before a winner is picked ahead of a likely unveiling next year.

Committee chair Lord Janvrin said: “Memories of her are still fresh and we need to capture the essence.”
