Inscription
{On the front of the plinth:}
Nelson Mandela
Unveiled by Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the presence of London Mayor Ken Livingstone and Nelson Mandela himself.
Mandela, at 6 foot, was a tall man but this statue has a minimal base and, in comparison with the other statues in the square, the figure seems accessible, even small, though it is 9 foot tall. He is depicted wearing one of his trade-mark zany shirts.
The are proud of this statue.
