THE EDITOR’S PICK
To mark the Diamond Jubilee, the National Portrait Gallery is staging an innovative touring exhibition bringing together 60 of the most remarkable images of Elizabeth II. The Queen: Art and Image includes formal painted portraits, official photographs, press images and
www.britain-magazine.com works by contemporary
artists and explores the evolution of the way The
Queen has been portrayed
during the 60 years of her
reign. It opens in Edinburgh in June. (

returns to London’s O2 arena. Arena polo is
fast-paced and spectator friendly and was a great success when it arrived at the O2 last year. With simpler rules and tickets starting from just £25, it is
an accessible way of introducing those new to the sport. Grammy award- winning band, Bajofondo, will also be performing at the event. (www.
