Um, I can think of a lot better uses for £46 million! Like housing, renewable energy projects, climate change mitigation, etc., etc.

"A national memorial to #QueenElizabethII could cost as much as £46m, with the government calling on leading artists, architects and engineers to put forward ideas for the monument.

"The permanent memorial to the country's longest-reigning monarch will be placed in St James's Park, close to Buckingham Palace in central London.

"The government has set a provisional construction budget of between £23m and £46m excluding VAT for the project, with the money for it coming from public funds."
