A statue of Queen Elizabeth II was unveiled in Riverside Park, Andover, Hampshire, in September 2024. It was sculpted by Amy Goodman.[1] Goodman said that it was " ... such an honour and privilege to sculpt our late Queen. I wanted to capture her warmth and humility; she did have such a radiant smile".[1]
It is sculpted in bronze and depicts Queen Elizabeth II smiling and waving. She is wearing robes and a crown.[1] The robes feature pictures inspired by members of local residents of Andover.[1] It was commissioned by Test Valley Borough Council to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.[1] It was unveiled on 30 September 2024 by the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, Nigel Atkinson.[1] A second statue of the Queen, depicting her at the time of her coronation, is to be erected in Romsey by Test Valley Borough Council in 2025.[1]
