Statue of Boudica in London

It is not coincidental that Boudica took on legendary proportions for the British people during the reign of Victoria, another great queen. Sponsored by her consort Prince Albert, who provided horses from his stables as models, the great bronze statue of Boudica and her daughters was placed at Westminster Bridge across from the Houses of Parliament in 1902, a symbol of the nation and its imperial ambitions. The sculptor was Thomas Thornycroft.
