The Majesties at Admirality Arch

A LUMAR Coronation jigsaw showing Queen Elisabeth II and Prince Philipp passing the Admirality Arch.

The Arch was built in 1910 by Edward VII. in memory of his mother Queen Victoria. It is an elegant pass-by from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace and is closed for the public on any occasion except special services. It is said that there is a nose of stone added to one of the Arches in memory of Sir Wellington and that every mounted Royal Soldier would rub this nose for good look :-)
