The plaque at Hazlehead Park was unveiled by the late Queen Mother in 1980 to commemorate her 80th birthday. The theft is believed to have happened between 16:00 on Friday 13 September and 08:00 the following Monday. Lord Provost George Adam described it as a "particularly despicable theft." PC Richard Kinghan added: "The plaque is an important part of the Queen Mother Memorial Garden and I want to appeal to members of the public to come forward if they have any information about the theft."
