Fonty Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) I'm amazed she hasn't got one already. Edited to add that I assume she hasn't got one somewhere else. My brother lives near Reigate, so I pass her statue frequently. Edited February 27, 2016 by Fonty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa O`Brien Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This one is in Knightsbridge: http://www.londonremembers.com/memorials/margot-fonteyn-j-du-pre# A pity they spelled Assoluta wrong. [They spelled it with two L`s.]. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) While I have no issues at all with a plaque to honour Margot Fonteyn I would ask if there is one for Alicia Markova. If there is not, why not? Edited February 27, 2016 by Two Pigeons 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Now I am on the subject, one for Sir Fred as well would not go amiss. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The plaque for Anton Dolin on 66 Glebe Place looks like DIY and is in a poor state: http://www.plaquesoflondon.co.uk/page2315.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Indeed it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alymer Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think a plaque for Ashton is planned. It may be that it's on the complete list of those scheduled for this year and the news item gave only a few names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynette H Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 There is one for de Valois, in Barnes. It's been there for a number of years. Is there one for Constant Lambert ? Who else would you expect to have a blue plaque ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Is there one for Constant Lambert ? 197 Albany Street (by Regent's Park). There's also the memorial stone in Westminster Abbey to de Valois, Ashton, Lambert and Fonteyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
