Queen Victoria Queen Anne

This statue of ~~a younger Queen Victoria~~ Queen Anne that stands outside St Pauls Cathedral and is unusual for the gilded orb, sceptre and crown. Which may be why this statue is fenced off.

It is a bad (!!) copy of the original by Frances Bird, erected in 1712 to commemorate the completion of the Cathedral. The original can still be seen in St Leonard's-on-sea.

I'm off walking in Shropshire over the weekend - back soon.
