Queen Victoria statue to be given a facelift in Colombo

A statue of Queen Victoria in Sri Lanka’s main city, Colombo, has been taken off its plinth for renovation ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to be held there next month.

The statue was moved from its original location seven years ago and placed in an inconspicuous position.

But the authorities say it will now be given more prominence.
