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."
