Dave Lamb with the pedestal and canopy recording the Queen’s Jubilee visit to York Minster
A RECORD of the Queen’s visit to York Minster during her Jubilee year is being set in stone.
A pedestal and canopy due to be installed on the restored East Front next year has gone on display in the new masonry exhibition in the East End of the Minster.
Created by York Minster’s head banker mason, Dave Lamb, the canopy stone features a lion and a king, and is carved with the initials “ER” (Elizabeth Regina) and the year 2012 as a permanent reminder of her visit in April.
