Excerpt from Early Days Recalled The house in which my parents, Sir Alexander and Lady Duff Gordon, lived when I was a small child - No. 8, Queen Square, Westminster (now Queen Anne Square) - was then divided from the adjoining square by iron railings. These were attached to a projection of our house, where still stands a statue of good Queen Anne in a niche. This is deeply impressed on my memory, because I had been told that the Queen came to life, and descended off her pedestal to walk three times round the square, in her royal robes and crown, on the anniversary of her death.
