The Elizabeth II memorial selection committee has announced plans for a 46m glass bridge designed by architect Norman Foster, inspired by the late Queen's wedding tiara. Foster, known for his personal connections with the Queen, designed the bridge to reflect her balance of formality and warmth, resonating with the landscape of St James's Park. While the design aims to symbolize her unifying role, some critics voice concerns regarding its maintenance and appearance, likening it to a temporary installation. The bridge is anticipated to be a lasting tribute to the late monarch's legacy.
Foster's design for a memorial bridge, inspired by the Queen's wedding tiara, symbolizes her as a unifying force for nations, the Commonwealth, and charities.

Critics have noted the glass bridge's appearance resembles a temporary installation, prompting concerns about its maintenance within the Royal Parks.
