A protestor has been seen throwing eggs at a statue of Baroness Margaret Thatcher hours after it was unveiled.
The memorial, which had only been lowered into place two hours prior to the incident, is in her home town of Grantham, Lincolnshire. The unveiling was met with booing from passing motorists, with one shouting "tear it down."
The council approved a large-scale £100,000 unveiling ceremony in 2020, which led to the creation of a Facebook group proposing an “egg-throwing contest” at the event. The group gained interest from more than 13,000 people.
