These meetings, which have included roundtables and visits to locations in all four nations, have focused on various aspects of the memorialisation programme, covering both the design of the permanent memorial and broader themes for the legacy programme. Participants have included historians and academics, such as Dame Mary Beard; environmental experts such as Tony Juniper (Chair of Natural England); figures from the world of arts like Andrew Ellis (Chief Executive of Art UK); digital artists such as Doddz; and experts in heritage and the built environment such as Professor Elizabeth McKellar and Sir Charles Saumarez Smith. Dame Mary Beard shared, “It is tremendously important to create a memorial to the Queen that is appropriate, relevant and in some way makes a difference. It was fascinating and fun to be part of generating ideas, hearing what others had to say, from the feasible to the blue sky”.

These sessions have generated valuable insights and lively debate, and have been invaluable in helping the Committee in creating memorial projects that will resonate with people both locally and globally. Digital Artist, Doddz commented, “It was an honour to participate in such an important discussion about how digital elements can enhance Queen Elizabeth II’s memorial. The roundtable highlighted the power of digital tools to connect past, present, and future generations, creating emotional and meaningful experiences for all.”
