Currently on the Fourth Plinth
Sir Keith Park statue
In
recognition of Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park's outstanding
contributions during the Second World War, a memorial statue was unveiled
on the Fourth Plinth on 4 November 2009.
The statue, presented
by the Sir Keith Park Memorial Campaign and supported by Mayor of London
Boris Johnson, will be in place for six months. A permanent memorial
statue of Park will be unveiled in Waterloo Place on 15 September 2010.
The Mayor said: "London owes an enormous debt to Sir Keith Park
for his courage and leadership, which helped to win the Battle of Britain.
Hosting a temporary memorial in Trafalgar Square in time for the 70th
anniversary of this epic battle is a mark of our gratitude for the bravery
and commitment this great hero showed to London and the world."
