Yes, of a person from this place
Yes, of a person not from this place
Yes, but the statue is not of a person
We have a statue that gets regularly vandalised does that count?
No, we don't do this to any statues I know of

Do feel invited to share pictures and also whether you yourself have accessorised the statue! :) (the latter only if it won't get you in trouble)
#submission#Bonn where I grew up has a big statue of Beethoven that was regularly gifted a gingerbread heart#I now live in Mainz and our statue of Gutenberg gets a lot of football scarves (soccer for the Americans)#or a wine glass on a string when there's a festival (we have a lot of wine festivals)#since they're local personalities it's definitely affectionate and tinged with local pride#not sure that's the case with Glasgow's Wellington but it is traditional! :)#statues#public art#thank for your work Mod H#a poll a day#random polls#polls#tumblr polls#statue poll#thanks for the submission!#sept 15
