One And Other: The King Makes A Stand


The Office of King Dominic has just released the news that the King has accepted a place in artist Anthony Gormley's One and Other art project.

The King will be standing on top of a plinth in Trafalgar Square on the morning of Friday, 31st July, for one hour.

In an interview, the King admitted "I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do, yet. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be art for an hour--and only an hour. Which means I have to think carefully about how I spend it, because once the time's gone, it's gone."

He added that he had considered pleading for the independence of the Kingdom of Lindsey, or (considering the ungodly hour at which he will be 'art') simply standing on the plinth in uniform and a heroic pose, clutching Old Rectoryland's flag.

The King is expected to announce his decision at the State Opening of Parliament, but may leave it as late as the 28th of July.
