(ca) The Battle of Britain Monument in London is a sculpture on the Victoria Embankment, overlooking the River Thames, which commemorates the individuals who took part in the Battle of Britain during the Second World War. It was unveiled on 18 September 2005, the 65th anniversary of the Battle, by Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, in the presence of many of the surviving airmen known collectively as "The Few", following the Royal Air Force Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication on Battle of Britain Sunday. This service is an annual event, the first of which took place in 1943 at St Paul's Cathedral and since has taken place in Westminster Abbey. The monument was conceived by Bill Bond, founder of the Battle of Britain Historical Society, who was later appointed an MBE for his services to heritage. He was solely responsible for negotiating with the City of Westminster to secure the site of the monument, as well as appointing Donald Insall Associates as architects. He also formed the fundraising committee after raising over £250,000 through an appeal. The budget was £1.74 million which was funded in the main by private donations. Bill Bond appointed Lord Tebbit as chairman of the fundraising committee. The monument utilises a panelled granite structure 25 m (82 ft) long which was originally designed as a smoke outlet for underground trains when they were powered by steam engines. A walkway was cut obliquely through the middle of the structure, and is lined with panels of high relief sculpture in bronze depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. The centrepiece is an approximately life sized sculpture of airmen scrambling for their aircraft during the battle. The outside of the monument is lined with bronze plaques listing 2,936 pilots and aircrew from 14 countries who took part in the battle on the Allied side. In July 2020, Ajax historian Martin Sugarman, lost a campaign to list one of the airmen, whose parents were born in Mandatory Palestine, as being “British-Israeli" or "British Palestinian”. A member of the London monument team advised that, with nearly 3,000 names on the memorial, there was “no prospect of post-unveiling correction”. The sculptor of the monument is Paul Day. The statue was cast by Morris Singer, which is the oldest established fine art foundry in the world and has cast many prominent statues and sculptures in London and around the world, including the lions and fountains in Trafalgar Square.

(fr) Il Monumento alla battaglia d'Inghilterra è una scultura sita a Londra sul Victoria Embankment in riva al Tamigi, che commemora i militari britannici caduti nel corso della battaglia d'Inghilterra durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Fu inaugurato il 18 settembre 2005, nel LXV anniversario della battaglia, dal principe Carlo e da Camilla, duchessa di Cornovaglia, alla presenza di molti aviatori sopravvissuti noti collettivamente come "I pochi", dopo la funzione di ringraziamento e ridedica, della Royal Air Force, nella domenica della Battaglia d'Inghilterra. Questa cerimonia è un evento annuale, il primo dei quali si celebrò nel 1943 alla St Paul's Cathedral e da allora è stato poi tenuto all'Abbazia di Westminster. Il monumento fu ideato da Bill Bond, fondatore della Battle of Britain Historical Society, al quale fu poi assegnato un MBE per i suoi servizi al patrimonio. Fu l'unico a negoziare con la City of Westminster per proteggere il sito del monumento, così come per la nomina di Donald Insall Associates come architetti. Costituì anche il comitato di raccolta fondi dopo aver raccolto oltre 250.000 sterline attraverso un appello. Il bilancio fu di 1,74 milioni di sterline finanziato per lo più da donazioni private. Bill James Bond nominò Lord Tebbit presidente del comitato di raccolta fondi. Il monumento è costituito da una struttura di pannelli in granito lunga 25 metri che era stata originariamente concepita come scarico dei fumi dei treni della metropolitana quando erano alimentati da motori a vapore. Una passerella taglia obliquamente il centro della struttura, ed è rivestita con pannelli in bronzo, scolpiti ad altorilievo, raffiguranti scene della battaglia d'Inghilterra. Il pezzo forte è una scultura, in dimensioni reali, di aviatori che si arrampicano sul loro aereo durante la battaglia. L'esterno del monumento è decorato con targhe di bronzo con i nomi dei 2.936 aviatori e personale di terra di 14 paesi che presero parte alla battaglia a fianco degli Alleati. Lo scultore del monumento è . La statua è stata realizzata da , che è la più antica fonderia d'arte al mondo e ha realizzato molte statue di rilievo e sculture a Londra e nel resto del mondo, tra le quali i leoni e le fontane di Trafalgar Square. (it) Battle of Britain Monument – rzeźba znajdująca się w centralnym Londynie (Anglia) przy Victoria Embankment z widokiem na Tamizę. Powstała w hołdzie tym, którzy walczyli w bitwie o Anglię w 1940 roku, podczas II wojny światowej. Została odsłonięta 18 września 2005, w 65. rocznicę bitwy, przez Karola, księcia Walii i Kamilę, księżną Kornwalii, w obecności lotników, którzy brali udział w walkach. Co roku odbywają się nabożeństwa upamiętniające wydarzenia, pierwsze miało miejsce w 1943 roku w Katedrze św. Pawła, a kolejne w Opactwie Westminsterskim. Projektantem pomnika był Bill Bond, założyciel Battle of Britain Historical Society, który otrzymał później Order Imperium Brytyjskiego za swoje zasługi dla dziedzictwa. Bond zebrał również fundusze potrzebne na budowę. Koszt wyniósł 1,74 miliona funtów. Rzeźbę stanowi granitowy panel o długości 25 metrów, ozdobiony płaskorzeźbami, przedstawiającymi sceny z bitwy o Anglię. Najważniejszym elementem rzeźby są naturalnej wielkości figury lotników. Zewnętrzna część rzeźby wyłożona jest brązowymi tablicami, na których wypisane są nazwiska wszystkich lotników, biorących udział w bitwie po stronie aliantów. Autorem pomnika jest Paul Day, a architektami Donald Insall Associates. Pomnik został odlany przez Morris Singer, najstarszą na świecie odlewnię artystyczną, która odlała również wiele wybitnych rzeźb i posągów w Londynie i na całym świecie, w tym lwy i fontanny na Trafalgar Square.
