9th June 2010

I took a walk up to Victoria Tower Gardens at lunchtime today in order to bag some more elephants from the London Elephant Parade, but on the way into the park I was rather taken by this statue of Emmeline Pankhurst and the fact that someone had laid flowers by it.

Emmeline Pankhurst was leader of the British suffragette movement, which helped women win the right to vote, and turns out she died on 14 June 1928 which may explain the flowers at this time.
