    A beautiful park with an obelisk as the centrefold, built in 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

      May 17, 2018

      IT IS the kind of gesture to make even a monarch blush. One of Britain’s richest and most controversial businessmen has built a lavish monument to the Queen in his back garden.



      Wafic Said, the Syrian-born billionaire, has erected a 92ft stone obelisk in the grounds of his 3,000-acre Oxfordshire country estate, Tusmore Park, and dedicated it to the Queen’s diamond jubilee.



      The monument, which took two years to complete and weighs 300 tons, is the biggest obelisk to be built in Britain since the 18th century. It is topped with a 5ft metal cap covered in gold that catches the sun’s rays and the “clouds scudding by”, according to its architect Andrew Lockwood, a partner at Whitfield Lockwood Architects, Co Durham.
