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

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.

Definitely Princess Margaret!

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

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

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

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

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 think it looks horrendous

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

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

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.

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

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)

Perhaps the Queen should do a Joan Collins

take a toy boy?

Definitely, and a face lift and wear wigs ?

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

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 ?

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

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

No. You mustn’t.

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

Crikey, it’s foul!!
