Queen Elizabeth statue won't be erected in Trafalgar Square
A statue of the late Queen Elizabeth won't be erected in Trafalgar Square for the foreseeable future. Following the death of the monarch earlier this month, there have been calls for a permanent tribute to be erected on the fourth plinth of the London landmark but the Mayor of London's office have insisted it will continue to be used to showcase temporary pieces of modern art, as it has been since 1999. A spokesperson told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “The Fourth Plinth will continue to showcase new works by world-class artists for the foreseeable future.
