What a shame Londoners are bemused with the fantastic 15ft sculpture of Alison Lapper.

It is beautiful and it will be great when (we hope) it is returned to Brighton after being in Trafalgar Square for two years.

I find it hard to believe the Greater London Council has had emails threatening to deface it.

If that's the case, bring it to Brighton and Hove. We would love to have the sculpture - and I'm sure our seagulls will be kinder to it than London's pigeons.

Congratulations to Alison.

Her son must be very proud.
