A monument eected to celebrate the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. Situated on the corner of Church Lane and the High Street in Quorn.
"As part of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebrations, on Friday 22nd July 1977, a garden party for 500 people was hosted by George and Barbara Farnham at Quorn House; the guest of honour being the Duke of Edinburgh. The visit by the Duke was part of a hectic day for him, visiting several venues in Leicestershire, and for the people of Quorn it provided a rare opportunity for some of them to meet royalty. "
