Comemoratives statues everywhere

I was suprised strolling in London to see in a lot of places comemorative statues. This statues paying homage to important generals: it is the case in Trafalgare square where there is a statue of the general Nelson, riding his horse, and in the same position than Napoléon I. There are also statues for engineers, architects...

 

These statues are in the middle of a place, a square, or even, at the middle of the road, like a little wall with statues of women who replaced the men at work, durring world wars I and II.  

For example, in St James Park, or maybe Hyde Park, yes, rather in Hyde Park, there is a fountain to remember Lady Diana. When you see this fountain, you have the impression that the water goes both  in the two direction. When you are near to the fountain, you notice that the ground of it is shaped by mounths each one touching the other. It is magnific. Even the photograph of Diana is taken very well. Because the photograph comunicates to us that Diana is or was full of life, you are deeply and sustainably affected.

You are also interested finding out the hisory of St James park and knowing something about its architect, in a comemorative plate.

Finaly, as the architecture of all building remember you both the history of architecture and those of London, these comemoratives statues remember you the history of Britain and even sometimes, the history of the world, the role of United Kingdom in the world. As a result, you have always the history which is speaking to you. You do everytime an effort of memory. You understand that you are very small. As a result, you become lowly.
