Memorial to Queen Victoria, Leeds

A Memorial to Queen Victoria stands in Woodhouse Moor, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

The memorial consists of figures and a frieze in bronze on a plinth and pedestal of Portland stone.

The figure on the top of the pedestal is that of Queen Victoria sitting on a throne, with a sceptre resting on her right forearm, and holding an orb in her left hand.

Beneath the pedestal is a plinth with a continuous frieze incorporating the words "INDIA", "AUSTRALIA", "CANADA", and "AFRICA" on scrolled plaques that are flanked by owls and foliage.

[1][b] During the wave of George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom, it was reported on 9 June 2020 that the statue had been vandalized by painting with slogans such as 'racist', 'colonizer', 'justice', "BLM" (Black Lives Matter) and 'slave owner' (although slave ownership in the British Empire had been abolished in 1833, four years before she ascended the throne).

The Queen Victoria Statue being uprooted from Victoria Square in the city centre where it had stood for over 30 years. It was transported by lorry to a new site on Woodhouse Moor.
