Mum/Marion How close you get to it ! And the 'guards' in their little huts, not quite up to Buckingham Palace guards ! Very intersting statues, they look 'war' related ?>

Janet McIntyre Yep, pretty violent statues! Looks like people being beaten into submission or "given a lesson". Next to delicate, gold filigree work over the arch of the gate. Kind of two expressions of power. Threatening!
