No. 1520: Plinth-filler

Sunday Telegraph readers were recently invited to choose a suitable sculpted figure to stand on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square. 'Bomber' Harris, R. A. Butler and General Gordon on a camel were among the suggestions. You are invited to choose your own figure and append 16 lines of apt verse to go on the base. Entries to 'Com- petition No. 1521' by 29 April.
