Site: Abraham Lincoln statue (1 memorial)
SW1, Parliament Square, Canning Green
This statue is known as 'Standing Lincoln', in contrast to that in Washington DC where Lincoln is seated in a giant chair, here he is provided with a similarly uncomfortable looking chair but sensibly does not sit down. If he did he would enter the select club of London seated statues – see Peabody.
British Pathé captured the 1920 unveiling, on a very wet day.
