The fourth plinth at trafalgar square
1 - Battle of Trafalgar
2 - William IV, whose equestrian statue was originally supposed to adorn the fourth plinth.
It remained empty due to insufficient funds.Later, agreement could not be reached over which monarch or military hero to place there.
Various companies have used the plinth (often without permission) as a platform for publicity stunts, including a model of David Beckham by Madame Tussauds during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. The London-based American harmonica player Larry Adler jokingly suggested erecting a statue of Moby-Dick, which would then be called the "Plinth of Whales". A television ident for the British TV station Channel 4 shows a CGI Channel 4 logo on top of the fourth plinth.
Cracked fully only by Vishal. Sriram and JoJo got most of it, but didnt identify William IV. I'll give them full credit, though..
