Margaret Thatcher statue egged shortly after installation
A bronze statue of Margaret Thatcher was egged shortly after it was lowered into place in her hometown of Grantham, Lincolnshire, on Sunday (15 May).
The statue has been placed on a 10ft plinth surrounded by fencing and CCTV is in operation due to the risk of damage.
