Queen unveils £50k jubilee tribute sculpture in Windsor

Queen unveils Diamond Jubilee sculpture in Windsor

The Queen came to King Edward Court shopping centre in Windsor today when she unveiled the town's £50,000 jubilee tribute.

The 4.65m high stainless steel structure consisting of 60 spheres sloping dramatically into the air drew gasps, as the Queen pulled aside the lavish covering to reveal the gleaming construction underneath.

Crowds had started gathering well before the Queen appeared wearing a mauve coat and hat.

They were entertained by the Windsor Boys and Girls' School combined band.

See Thursday's Windsor Advertiser and Friday's Windsor Express for the full story with more photos.
