What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is seeking an experienced and
suitably qualified artist to produce a high-quality permanent, figurative sculpture (Bust) of
Queen Elizabeth II to recognise the life and service of the late Monarch. The bust would
be in the medium of the artist's choice and placed on top of a plinth to include a plaque
(text to be agreed with Council) which may be incorporated into the plinth. The memorial
would be located within the Palace Chapel, Armagh. The materials would be considered
as part of the artist's commission with the preferred option and final designs being agreed
and signed off by Council. It's also proposed that the memorial would be officially
recognised. Therefore, it is considered that approval for any memorial in any form may be
required from the Cabinet Office and this may be a requirement in terms of any potential
unveiling or inauguration. The sculpture (Bust) must be a 'lifelike' representation and be
immediately recognisable to interested parties and tourists alike, becoming integrated into
the historic fabric of Armagh.
