Rename Heathrow airport after Queen Elizabeth II to mark 100th birthday, says MP A Labour MP has called for Heathrow airport to be renamed after Queen Elizabeth II to mark a century since her birth.
“Now there’s been much talk of Heathrow Airport in recent days, and with that in mind, and as our nation will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late Queen in April 2026, would the leader back my calls to rename Heathrow Airport after her late majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
Then-Conservative Party leader, and now Tory peer, Lord Hague of Richmond backed the idea, as did newly elected Labour MP turned Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
It has already been confirmed that the official memorial will be sited in St James’ Park, near Buckingham Palace, to mark the centenary of her birth in April 2026.
Adam Jogee (Newcastle-under-Lyme) said his proposal would be an suitable way of marking her “lifetime of service to the country and the Commonwealth”.
