Nelson Mandela's statue is unveiled in London

A statue of former South African President Nelson Mandela has been unveiled in London.

The late South African anti-apartheid activist Donald Woods had the idea for the 9ft-high (2.7m) bronze statue.

Talking to crowds who gathered for the unveiling, Mr
Mandela said: "Though this statue is of one man, it should in actual
fact symbolise all of those who have resisted oppression, especially in
my country."
