There will be no official public event to mark the first anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth, a royal spokesman has said.

The King is to spend 8 September "quietly and privately". The day also marks his own accession to the throne.

There are also no plans for a private gathering of the Royal Family on the anniversary.

Senior royals will be in Balmoral in Aberdeenshire over the summer, the place where the Queen died last year.

It's expected that family members will be there at various times over the summer, but a Buckingham Palace spokesman has suggested they will not hold any formal, private, gathering to mark the death of the late Queen.

The same as the late Queen did on her own accensionday.

I think its lovely and I particularly like the inclusion of her corgi's, which adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise formal statue!

The statue truly doesn't resemble her at all! I agree with the gentleman who said, "The dogs and Prince Phillip look nice."

The Statue looks horrible. No resemblance to the Queen or Philip at all

The late Queen will make a small cameo in the upcoming Paddington 3 film.

The late Queen Elizabeth II will appear in the new Paddington in Peru film, it has been revealed.
Her small cameo appearance, which will be a photo of her having afternoon tea with the beloved animated bear, was approved by Buckingham Palace.
Ron Halpern, the head of global productions at Studiocanal, the film’s distributor, said the decision to include Elizabeth II came “with the consent and agreement of the royal household”.
Rosie Alison, the film’s co-producer, told Variety magazine: “[The royal family] were actually very happy for it to happen.
“But we don’t like to make a big deal of it, because Paddington’s obviously a very modest fellow”.
