As Britain celebrates Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee, a particular effigy of the monarch that was installed recently in Wales attracted quite a bit of attention on social media.
The effigy in question appears to depict the queen sitting on a toilet with her pants down, while a scarecrow of a soldier stands guard nearby.
“70 years on the throne”, reads the banner installed next to the display.
According to The Daily Star, the installation, erected near Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, has already attracted the ire of the Ceredigion Council.
"An unauthorised distasteful tribute display has been arranged on council land in Llanon ahead of the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday”, a spokeswoman for the council said. “The display shall be removed".
As the media outlet points out, this stunt elicited a somewhat mixed reaction online, as some branded the display “classless” and called for its removal, while there were also those who regarded it as “brilliant” and “fantastic”.
