As part of the preparations for the Queen’s coronation, sculptor James Woodford RA was commissioned to create ten statues of The Queen’s Beasts for the occasion and they stood guard at the entrance to Westminster Abbey where the ceremony was held. Today, these dutiful guardians can be found at the Canadian Museum of History, a reminder of the historical moment a princess became Queen.
