King Charles remembers late Queen on centenary

New memorials will allow the public to remember Queen Elizabeth II, including a website for sharing personal memories. King Charles marked her 100th birthday with a video message, recorded at Balmoral, where he said his mother would be troubled by the world's current state. A 9.84ft (3m) bronze statue of the Queen, sculpted by Martin Jennings, will be placed in St James's Park, with completion expected in about two years.
