Boadicea led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61, and died shortly after its failure. She is considered a British folk hero .
Ya it's a drag, you have to delete the first image and then upload a new one. I will have to read up on this heroic women. She obviously got tired of waiting around for the men to do something lol.
The statue is across the road, at an entrance to a pedestrian underpass. I was midway down the steps looking for a vantage point for Big Ben when I saw the statue above me. During a "relatively" quiet moment, I jockeyed a tripod with the RB67 to get a unique photo.
