Scottish Deputy First Minister John Swinney announced the formation of a committee to explore a memorial for Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland, following the UK government's plans for a national memorial at St James's Park in London. Approved by King Charles III and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the London memorial will receive public funding, with additional support for projects in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The final designs are expected in 2026, coinciding with the Queen's centennial.
