Rocking Horse Boy

Today actress and voice-of-the-Gods Joanna Lumley unveiled the new statue on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square: Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset's Powerless Structures, Fig 101, which is already known as The Boy On The Rocking Horse. As equestrian statues go, it's a Mickey-take, but not without point. Generations of boys learned to play on rocking horses in preparation for being sent to war on horseback: knights, lancers, gunners with horse artillery. Joanna thinks he's "adorable" (title link).
