Statue celebrates inspiring horse

A life-size bronze statue will be unveiled next year of a horse who became a symbol of the struggle against the IRA after surviving the deadly 1982 Hyde Park bomb atrocity.

The sculpture of Sefton, who survived the blast that killed seven stablemates and four soldiers, was commissioned by the Royal Veterinary College.

The college's artist-in-residence, Camilla Le May, was given the job of sculpting the black gelding, and has spent six months creating the three-quarters-of-a-ton sculpture.
