Statue of Horatio Nelson, Bronze monument in Bull Ring, Birmingham, England
The statue represents Admiral Nelson in his military uniform, with one arm resting on an anchor beside a miniature HMS Victory ship.
Created in 1809 by Richard Westmacott, this statue became the first publicly funded monument in Birmingham following Nelson's visit to the town in 1802.
The statue forms the centerpiece of Birmingham's annual Trafalgar Day celebrations, marking the British naval victory against Napoleon's forces.
The monument stands between the Bullring shopping centre and Selfridges store, offering visitors a central meeting point near St Martin's Church.
The sculpture incorporates a piece of the mast from the French ship Orient, which sank during the Battle of the Nile.
