The Cabinet Office has issued a final call for the public to contribute memories to the Queen Elizabeth Digital Memorial before the submission portal closes on 31 October. The memorial was launched on 21 April 2026 alongside other plans marking the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth, and hundreds of people, including well-known figures, have already submitted personal recollections. Sir Richard Branson shared his memories of the late Queen on 23 October, ahead of the deadline.

Organisers describe the digital memorial as an interactive website combining public memories, archive material from international collections, and the first complete official record of the 70-year reign, mapping key events in the Queen's life geographically and chronologically. Once public submissions close, the website will continue to mark her life and reign, and its organisers plan to work with new archives and partners around the world to add newly digitised content.

The digital memorial is one of three recommendations by the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee adopted by the government, alongside a masterplan for a permanent memorial in St James's Park, London, and the Queen Elizabeth Trust, a charitable trust for regenerating community assets across the United Kingdom. Memories can be submitted at www.queenelizabeth.com.
