Member of Parliament, Michael Ellis, thought up the idea for the elaborate stained-glass window presented to the Queen on Tuesday, in honor of the Diamond Jubilee, reports the Telegraph. The window, which was created from 1,500 pieces of glass, is to be installed in Westminster Hall later this year during a planned restoration.

The project was a collaborative effort in both funding and creation. Personal contributions from both Houses across political parties payed for the project, while a variety of draftsmen, painters and technicians worked under the direction of British artist John Reyntiens to physically create the piece of art.
