London Design Festival: Day 3

I'll tell you now, it was worth it. Here's what I saw.

Hi Aaron, I've just discovered this article. Nice to hear my Queen warmed your Yankee heart!! Thank you. Sadly she came down yesterday to make way for a new installation. She may well be back up later in the year though if any of your readers are visiting. With the Jubilee and Olympics 2012 I'm hoping many more will get to see her and appreciate the many many hours of work that went into creating her.
