The council has announced and welcomed the news that Kings Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort will be visiting York on next week to unveil a statue of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Following a service, the statue, designed and carved by York Minster stone mason Richard Bossons, will be unveiled at the West Front of the Minster on Wednesday 9 November 2022.
The King will enter via Micklegate Bar, the traditional royal entrance to the city. Micklegate Bar was the most important of York’s 4 main medieval gateways and the focus for grand events. By tradition, reigning monarchs pass through this gate when visiting York, and stop here to ask the Lord Mayor's permission to enter the city.
