Graham Chapman - EC1

Erection date: 15/9/2025

Inscription

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, here discussed with Barts medical student Graham Chapman, the benefit of putting his training on hold in order to tour New Zealand, which he subsequently did. Her Majesty thus played an important part in the formation of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Queen Mary University of London

Chapman's difficult career choice presented itself in 1963-4 so that must be when the royal career advice was proffered.
