[MR] BBC: Real Face of Queen Elizabeth?

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC is presenting a fascinating text and video story on the
"masks" Queen Elizabeth I presented to her subjects through her various
portraits, particularly the Armada Portrait. Artist Mat Collishaw has
created an animatronic version of the Queen's face as part of an exhibit at
Queen's House, Greenwich. Christine Riding, Senior Curator of Art at the
National Maritime Museum discusses how the portraits presented the notion
of Her immortality to the nation.

Yours Aye,
