Statues in the Park

Across the street from Westminster and across from Parliament, a small square park is surrounded by whizzing cars, taxis and buses. And in the otherwise empty park are several statues. We saw the striking image of Winston Churchill, a man of iron commemorated in iron as it seems, in an earlier post. We went by for another look before leaving London.

Nearby is a more traditional statue of King George V, the father of the reigning Queen Elizabeth II. A close look will tell you that a bird had not treated for late King kindly. That stripe coming down the side of his head is the proof of that.

After that final turn through the park, we went back to the hotel, finished packing, and were prepared for a pleasant ride to the cruise ship dock at Dover. "Will we see the White Cliffs?" I asked our driver. "Oh, yes, they are right there," he answered.

Oh, yes, they were. They are. And you will see in the next post.
