Statue of the Earl Mountbatten, Bronze statue near Whitehall, City of Westminster, England
The statue portrays Admiral Mountbatten in full military uniform holding binoculars, standing at 2.7 meters tall on Mountbatten Green behind the Foreign Office.
Queen Elizabeth II unveiled this memorial on November 2, 1983, commemorating Mountbatten's service as the last Viceroy of India and Supreme Allied Commander.
The monument carries inscriptions detailing Mountbatten's ranks and achievements, reflecting British military and colonial administration traditions through sculptural art.
The statue stands behind security fencing since 2001, limiting direct access, while remaining visible from Horse Guards Road and Downing Street.
Inside the statue's left leg, sculptor Franta Belsky concealed a jar containing coins, press articles, and documentation about the commission.
