Part of Brisbane's decorations for Queen Elizabeth II

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    St Edward's Crown is widely used as a heraldic emblem of the United Kingdom, being incorporated into a multitude of emblems and insignia. As the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with a responsible government, the crown can also symbolise "the sovereignty (or authority) of the monarch." It can be found on, amongst others, the Royal Cypher; the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom; the Royal Badges of England; and the badges of the police forces of England and Wales, NHS ambulance services, Her Majesty's Coastguard, the British Army, the Royal Marines, the Royal Air Force, and HM Revenue and Customs. It also forms the logo of Royal Mail, the United Kingdom's postal service.[9] (In Scotland, the Crown of Scotland may appear in place of St Edward's Crown). Edward VII intended to revive the tradition of being crowned with St. Edward's Crown in 1902, but on coronation day he was still recovering from an operation for appendicitis, and instead he wore the lighter Imperial State Crown.[27] Jewels were hired for use in the crown and removed after the coronation until 1911, when it was permanently set with 444 precious and semi-precious stones. Imitation pearls on the arches and base were replaced with gold beads which at the time were platinum-plated.[6] Its band was also made smaller to fit George V, the first monarch to be crowned with St Edward's Crown in over 200 years, reducing the crown's overall weight from 82 troy ounces (2.6 kg) to 71 troy ounces (2.2 kg).[27] It was used to crown his successor George VI in 1937, and Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, who adopted a stylised image of the crown for use on coats of arms, badges, logos, and various other insignia in the Commonwealth realms to symbolise her royal authority. In these contexts, it replaced the Tudor Crown, which had been instated by Edward VII in 1901. The use of the crown's image in this way is by permission of the monarch. On 4 June 2013, St Edward's Crown was displayed on the high altar in Westminster Abbey at a service to mark the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation, which was the first time it had left the Jewel House at the Tower of London since 1953.

    We are looking to pinpont the location of this building. Anyone from Rocky who might be able to help us?

    Denham and East, looking SE. The corner block is now a very ugly bank, but the last bay (darker part on the right) is still there. Street to the left now a pedestrian zone of drab newer buildings with some sort of ridiculous giant umbrella.

    Seth Gaines Thanks Seth - there's nothing like a bit of local knowledge! Or cleverness with comparing old and contemporary photos. Many thanks.

    Love the Architecture of the main building, classic!

    Although I'd love to visit Australia some day, I've never been. I just played around on Google street view.

    Stunning work on a skull it looks like, but maybe more verdant than Pictish Knotwork and not far away from Rococo Swirls.
