King George V Memorial, Bronze memorial outside Old Parliament House in Canberra, Australia.
The monument features a bronze statue of King George V on one side and a stone statue of Saint George on horseback on the opposite side.
The memorial, commissioned in 1936 and completed by 1941, remained under wraps until 1953 due to delays caused by World War II shipping restrictions.
The memorial design connects Australia's monarchy ties through King George V's statue and military service through the Saint George sculpture.
The memorial stands in a new position since 1968, relocated to create an unobstructed view between Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial.
The 2015 renovation project, costing 326,000 dollars, included special modifications to prevent skateboarders from using the memorial structure.
