COME ON ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

COME ON ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This morning a group of our children headed to Trafalgar Square to see the London Heritage Quarter’s ‘Pride in the Quarter’, a new free public art trail of 17 individually designed lion and lioness sculptures across the heart of London celebrating the summer of international football.

Harry Redknapp (former manager, TV star), joined Fara Williams MBE, the Lionesses’ most-capped player, to unveil the first sculptures against iconic backdrops including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament.

Inspired by the iconic ‘Three Lions’ emblem associated with the England national team, the near life-size sculptures will prowl across a 1.945 km² stretch of central London, with each sculpture designed by a different artist and celebrating England’s football story, culture and communities.
