Two statues of horse riders, each standing as a powerful local symbol of identity, history, and independence across different corners of the globe.
Lisbon: The statue of Dom João I. King João seized the Portuguese throne in defiance of a Castilian (Spanish) heir, and his statue in Lisbon symbolises Portuguese independence.
Thetford: The statue of Maharajah Duleep Singh. He was the last Sikh maharajah of Punjab, who lived much of his life in the Thetford area. His statue was raised to symbolise the long relationship between Britain and the Sikh people of India.
