“While we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.”    ~Queen Elizabeth II

South Wall: Symbols of the British Monarchy

# data[].attributes.body
For the South Wall, I decided to add pieces that are symbols of the British Monarchy that help describe who they are. We have. The first is the family's crest. The British Monarchy has been around for a while; their crest represents their family. The Imperial Crown has been around since the 15th century, but the current one was last altered in 1937. The final symbol I have on this wall is Buckingham Palace. It was built in 1703-1705. It serves as the official residence and administrative headquarters of the UK's sovereigns.
(Object numbers 10, 11, & 12)

East Wall: Important Events in Queen Elizabeth II's life 

# data[].attributes.body
I have chosen this theme for the East Wall because several different events affected the Queen's life, some in bigger ways than others. First, we have a picture of King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne, giving it to his younger brother King George VI who is Queen Elizabeth II's father. The Queen was never actually supposed to be the monarch, but due to her uncle's abdication, she fell in line. Next, I have Princes Elizabeth II at the time and Prince Phillip's wedding. Finally, I have the coronation, which is the ceremony that takes place for Princess Elizabeth II to formally become Queen Elizabeth II.

This wall has pictures of the three heirs to the throne after Queen Elizabeth in line of succession. First, we have the Queen's oldest, Prince Charles III, her grandson Prince William, and her great-grandson, Prince George. I felt these were important to put in her because this is not only the Queen's legacy but the future monarchs of Great Britain, the country the Queen served her whole life.

This picture is the beginning of the incredible reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It's the beginning of hardships, triumphs, and a reign that was record-breaking. Prince Charles III had decades to learn how to be a great leader, whereas Queen Elizabeth II only had a short amount of time to watch how her father led the nation since she was given the throne at age 25. This was the beginning of the longest-reigning monarch in British History.

I chose this picture because it represents what Prince Charles III has done his whole life. From the second he was able to read, write and talk, the Queen has been preparing him to take over her reign someday. He goes to formal events with his mother, watches her leadership, and sticks by her side so that he can be as good as she was someday.

Decided to add Prince Phillip's funeral because Queen Elizabeth II started her reign with her husband by her side.

I chose this one especially due to the sentimental value, showing the changing of monarchs. Prince Charles says goodbye to his mom, Queen Elizabeth II. This photograph was captured by Jonathan Brady, and I think it a perfect picture to represent the start of this padlet "museum."

For my assignment, I was assigned Systematic Hang, and the topic had to be an event that occurred in 2022. The event I decided to go with was the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch in the history of Great Britain. Prince Charles at the time gave a statement to BBC news stating, "I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world." This statement alone helps tie in a whole bunch of different art pieces that have the common similarity of Queen Elizabeth. I decided to set this padlet up by starting with a photograph of the late Queen's funeral procession and working my way down to the painting of her on her day of the coronation, along with pieces of her husband, son and grandchild, and great-grandchild who are air to the throne.
