Two Hundred & Eighty One

I had to go to Newmarket today so I finally went to photograph this lovely statue at the racecourse :) 

'This statue was unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 3rd November 2016. It was placed here to mark Her Majesty's 90th birthday and to celebrate her special relationship with Newmarket and the thoroughbred horse. Her Majesty is depicted in 1977, the year of her Silver Jubilee. Cast in bronze and set on a plinth of Portland Stone, the statue portrays Her Majesty with a mare and foal at 120% life size. This project was made possible by the support and generosity of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Planned by the Newmarket Commemoration Committee, the statue has been gifted to the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art and will be maintained by Newmarket Town Council.'
