What do you think of the Queen’s new statue?

Crikey, it’s foul!!

You haven't seen my haystack!!

Bluebellwould if you can find some acorns in the autumn and plant them (preferably in tubs where you have lovely shrubs) then they should sprout and grow quite quickly.
I'm afraid that mine have just gone out in the garden waste.
Or you could adopt a squirrel.
I thought you'd have a forest of them, looking at your username

By the way I’m not criticising HM’s hair !! It’s fine for a lady if her age.

I'm just wondering if I've reached the right age for a perm and an HM hairstyle.

It might be better than the mess I have at the moment --can't do a thing with it--

No. You mustn’t.

Sorry to hijack post but if anyone would care to send me a couple of baby oak trees, I would be happy to pay.

But no one is criticising the Queen anniebach but the sculpture of her which is so unflattering and so unlike her
Are you saying you like the work ?

Definitely, and a face lift and wear wigs ?

Perhaps the Queen should do a Joan Collins

The Queen’s hair isn’t ‘a helmet’. For a woman of her age, she has lovely hair. It has to be in a style that is pretty immovable. No use if her hair is always blowing in her face, or looking like a birds nest, when she’s out in public. We would soon be criticising if it looked a mess.

Sorry! Ok It’s a soft helmet now. My mother had that sort of hairstyle forever too.

When my Mum wasn't able to get to the hairdresser often in her later years I used to wash and set it for her in exactly the same style as the Queen's.
I could put the rollers exactly the same even now!

I don't ever remember her having a different style although she was the first girl in their village to go and have her very long hair cut into the then fashionable semi-shingled style.
(Fashionable again now)

I've just seen it ....
Eeeuuuuggghhhh ???
I know she's in her 90s but that is truly horrible!!!

The face looks like a symbol of stability and strength, so I like it.

Maybe it will weather with time and the elements, and soften. We can but hope.

I think it looks horrendous

Doesn't bear any resemblance whatsoever, wouldn't have even known who it was supposed to be if I hadn't been told, what a total waste of time, resources and finance, does the Queen get a say in the matter, I wouldn't have accepted it as a likeness if I was her!

I hope the tax payers haven’t payed for it, there are far more worthy things to spend money on

Oh god just looked it’s awful. She looks so stern.

Perhaps no-one who say it resembles Princess Margaret remembers her as she was when she was young.
She was very beautiful.

I am definitely in the minority. I don’t see anything wrong with it. My first thought was that it’s just like the stamps, with more wrinkles.

It does look like a stamp- but those portraits are nothing like the Queen either

Definitely Princess Margaret!

It is definitely scary and nothing like the Queen as we know her.
