Banksy confirms new London statue

The 25-foot-tall resin installation was erected swiftly and professionally under the cover of darkness near Buckingham Palace.

Banksy released a video on social media showing the installation process, which involved a specialized team and heavy machinery.

Westminster Council, while not officially notified of the project, has allowed the statue to remain temporarily due to public interest.

The artwork has already drawn large crowds and sparked intense debate about the role of national identity in modern society.
