I have looked at the original photo and the bench is dedicated to J R Hare “Robbie” Retired Bailey of the Royal Parks. A previous supt. of Greenwich Park.

Quarries – were’nt the big holes in Blackheath once those?

Quincunx – 5 trees planted in the shape of a star (there must have been one in Greenwich Park at one point?)

Quarks – must be some of those in the Observatory

Quack – as in duck

Quality – The Greenwich Phantom.

Based on the post on 13 May about helicopters, planes, etc, there would be appear to be a shortage of Quiet. Adding some ‘queens’ there’s the Queen Elizabeth oak and Queen Charlotte’s bath, both in the park, and Queen Elizabeth I was born in the Palace. And with all the new flats going up, there are developers who must be Quids in.

I don’t think the plaque is actually a memorial TO her – just the bench where she used to sit, and therefore the bench itself becomes the memorial.

Hello

I can’t quite read the memorial plaque on the bench when I zoom in. Is the bench officially dedicated to her? There seem to be a awful lot of letters after the name denoting honours of some description or other. Not to say that Rose couldn’t have honours but was wondering to whom the bench is offically dedicated.
