A statue of the Queen is to be erected in Surrey to mark the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta.

It has been gifted by Runnymede Magna Carta Legacy, a charity reported to have raised more than £300,000.
The unveiling of the statue, which will be located within Runnymede Pleasure Ground, coincides with the Thames River Pageant, external.
Runnymede Borough Council has invited members of the public to comment, external on the proposed statue, and the landscaping of the garden surrounding it, by 27 March.
