Statue of Winston Churchill, Bronze statue in Parliament Square, London, United Kingdom.
The 12-foot bronze sculpture depicts Winston Churchill wearing a military greatcoat with his hand resting on a walking stick, facing the Palace of Westminster.
Queen Elizabeth II and five Prime Ministers attended the November 1973 unveiling ceremony where Clementine, Baroness Spencer-Churchill, presented the monument to the public.
The statue represents Churchill's leadership during World War II and stands among other political figures in Parliament Square, a center of British governance.
The monument includes wheelchair accessibility features and receives daily visits from tourists gathering in the square between Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.
During the creation process, sculptor Ivor Roberts-Jones modified the head after receiving feedback that the initial design resembled Benito Mussolini.
