More Olympics Madness - Hatwalk

Some of London's famous statues have been given a make-over for the games. Pictures here.

The Duke of Wellington is the funniest, it looks like a giant kite crash landed on his head. Continuing the accident theme, King George IV appears to have had an absent-minded mix-up with a chandelier. Not sure what his horse's excuse is. Winston Churchill got off lightly. Franklin D. Roosevelt... not so much.
