16.4.13 Excuse Me Young Man Do You Have The TIme ?

Spent a lovely couple of days in London. We were so lucky with the weather. Came across this amusing statue which I thought was worthy of a photo.

Here's the blurb on it:-
Bronze statues of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill sitting 'talking' together on a bench in Mayfair (where Old Bond Street meets New Bond Street). This statue is called 'Allies' and was a gift from the Bond Street Association (the shops and businesses of Bond Street) to the City of Westminster to commemorate 50 years of peace. Lawrence Holofcener, a sculptor with dual nationality created this landmark and it was unveiled on 2 May 1995 by Princess Margaret.
What a lovely image and I love the story behind it...
