The public is being encouraged to contribute ideas about the memorial and to give feedback on the shortlisted designs.
“We want public engagement, we want the public to comment on these proposals, because we want them to feel part of it,” said Baroness Amos, a member of the committee which will select the design to be built.
“So much of what the late Queen was about was meeting people and engaging with them,” she said.
Baroness Amos, a former leader of the House of Lords, said the memorial should be a fitting tribute to the late Queen, who died at the age of 96 after seven decades on the throne.
“This is about an extraordinary woman and an extraordinary reign, about her commitment to public service, her duty, her commitment to the community, to the nation and the Commonwealth,” she said.
