About equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington

The equestrian statue of Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, is located outside the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow in Scotland. It is one of Glasgow's most iconic landmarks. It was sculpted by the Italian-born French artist Carlo Marochetti and erected in 1844, thanks to public funding to mark the successful end in 1815 of the Napoleonic Wars. Since at least the 1980s it has been traditionally capped with a traffic cone by members of the public. In 2011, the Lonely Planet guide included the statue in its list of the "top 10 most bizarre monuments on Earth".
