Covid: Medic memorial statue unveiled ahead of final finish

"She's had a 12-hour stint on the ward. She's fatigued, she's tired," he says.

"It's etched in that face and in those eyes… deep piercing eyes looking at the human being helpless on the ward and wondering if they are going to pull through." Organisers want this monument - set for a site in Westminster - to be a place where everyone can come to remember the emergency services' tireless work and bravery.

But Tom Scholes-Fogg, who is leading the charity project, is urging the government to step up with a significant injection of cash.

Looks more like a tribute to Star Wars.

Next they're going to sculpt Margaret, from till 6, in Morrisons?

Who exactly is that statue of? because I'm pretty sure, no single individual did anything worthy of being etched in stone during this pandemic. All everyone did was lie, cheat, steal and hide from the truth. disgusting.

This is fine, but the NHS should NOT get a pay rise. They're on a three-year fixed deal as it is and managed to keep their jobs whilst everyone else was losing theirs. Don't want to deal with viruses? Don't work in the NHS.

Yes it is a deserved Memorial Statue. It is not, as the BBC News idiots are referring to it as, a Cenotaph. The Cenotaph in London commemorates the hundreds of thousands who gave their lives for today's ungrateful generation. BBC stoking division YET AGAIN.

That is hideous. Why? Just why?

Its a pretty shit statue to be fair.

Will it b ok in few years if ppl pull it down when true cost of shunning everything except covid is hitting death rises? Can't wait 4 the statue to b declared non-diverse by the gender/colour not portrayed.

👍👍👍👍👏👏

Wonder how many doctor’s/nurse’s wages this cost? Ffs

My dear God....

What a joke 🙈🤣
