I think he still look s a lot like Harry around the same age.
Apparently NOTBucksminster...Somewhere in London where the Queen lives, I guess
Is it true that the statue of Churchill has a charge because he said he doesn’t want birds ******** on him?
I have read different things about that.
Although these images make me kinda wish it was!
Brass isn't the best metal to choose if you wanted to electrify the pigeons (or even protestors unfortunately)
I'm still questioning "Buckminster"Apparently NOT
Churchill's mohicanThe Parliament Square Churchill statue was given a grass turf mohican and had red painted on his mouth like blood during the May Day demonstrations in 2000.

What would Churchill make of Britain today?
Five things about London that simply aren't trueChurchill isn't high voltage
Winston Churchill, being the modest sort, decided himself where his iconic statue would be placed in Parliament Square. In a final bit of genius PR, he organised that an electric current would flow through the statue so no pesky pigeons would besmirch his face...
This has all the alarm bells of an urban myth.
The fact Churchill's statue looks relatively clean is more to do with the fact no trees overhang the monument.
Or maybe it's because London's birds can't balance on his shiny bald head.

What is Electrical Conductivity?
Electrical conductivity is the measured amount of current generation created on a metal target’s surface. More simply, it is how easily an electrical current can flow through a metal.
Which Metals Conduct Electricity?
While all metals can conduct electricity, certain metals are more commonly used due to being highly conductive. The most common example is Copper. It is highly conductive which is why it is has been used in electrical wiring since the days of the telegraph. Brass however – which contains copper – is far less conductive because it is made up of additional materials that lower its conductivity, making it unsuitable for electrical purposes.
I gotta say when I posted the pic initially I thought it was a terribly out-of-focus photograph & curious why they'd leave it so blurry
I was confused thinking 'but it's a terrible shot (photography wise)??' Look again
