The fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square.

If you were successful in the draw and 'won' an hour up on the fourth plinth courtesy of Anthony Gormley's One & Other art project.

How would you spend your hour ?

The second person up there on this the first day was from Brighton as it happens.

That'll be the third person up there, since I understand some bloke hijacked the event to protest against tobacco.

I heard there was going to be a 24hr webcam. Does anyone know more or have the link?

I stand corrected.

The protester was removed by JCB.

Pics anyone ?

What on earth is he doing?

Need floodlights!

Funnily enough the presentation speech turned into a "could you possibly come down sir....."

Very funny - he picked his moment.

Is it working for you, because I'm getting nothing.

Isn't this just a glorified speakers corner ? Hardly an original idea.

He's an anti smoking protester, well known apparently. He was campaigning againsts actors smoking in films.

Good for him, non violent and on a plinth designed for real people advertising a cause.

Picked his moment with precision. Officially the first person on the empty plinth at Trafalgar Square.

Well done sir.

Thanks

Fair play to the old fella. Did well to get up there so quick and made his point like a proper gent.

 

[1066familyman]

...Anyway, is anybody going to bloody well answer my original question or not ! ?

 

[Notters]

No - I mean the guy who's up there now.

Looks like a giant turd or something?!

 

[1066familyman]

Here comes a change over.

Exit giant turd....enter ?

 

[Lush]

Has he started yet? What's it about? Is it worth going over there to chuck a burger at him?

 

[Lush]

Ooh - just spotted the Welsh flag. Perhaps he's going to sing?
