Almost impossible to take a great photo without being 100 yards away.
Great place to sit on the steps and watch London world go by.
Buried beside monument is a dog called Giro, his owner was German ambassador. In 1936 they draped the swastika flag over his coffin as they carried him down the stairs in front of York’s monument .
This column commemorates the second son of George III. As commander-in-chief of the British Army he is immortalised as the ‘the Grand Old Duke of York, he had 10,000 men...’
Great historical place to visit..
The cold winter wind couldn’t keep us away from this great statue
