Boadicea and Her Daughters, Bronze sculptural group at Westminster Bridge, England
The monument presents Queen Boudica standing with a spear while her two daughters crouch in a chariot drawn by two rearing horses without reins.
Thomas Thornycroft created this bronze statue between 1856 and 1885, though it was installed at its current location only in 1902.
The sculpture reflects Victorian England's renewed interest in ancient British history, with Queen Victoria herself supporting the project through model horses.
The monument stands at the western end of Westminster Bridge, near Westminster Underground station and the Houses of Parliament.
The granite plinth contains inscriptions added in 1903 that detail Boudica's role as Queen of the Iceni and her death in 61 AD.
