An angel for the south?

The Ebbsfleet Landmark Project Commission was announced in May 2007 and plans to construct a massive statue, viewable to Eurostar users coming in just outside Ebbsfleet International in Gravesend.

The proposed statue could be up to 50m high, twice as high as the Angel of the North and as high as the Statue of Liberty.

The shortlist of artists penned in for the £2m design was announced yesterday: Daniel Buren, Richard Deacon, Christoper Le Brun, Mark Wallinger and Rachel Whiteread.

But, just for fun, what about you? Do you have a better idea for what could be the 'Angel of the South', what 50m high icon would you want visitors to see as the 'Gateway to Britain?'
