Wellie with his EU Hat on


The equestrian Wellington Statue is a statue of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, located on Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow, Scotland. It is located outside the Gallery of Modern Art near the end of Ingram Street. The statue was sculpted by Italian artist Carlo Marochetti and erected in 1844. Capping the statue with a traffic cone has become a traditional practice in the city, claimed to represent the humour of the local population and believed to date back to the first half of the 1980s, if not before. The statue is a Category-A listed monument, and is one of Glasgow's most iconic landmarks. Due to minor damage and the potential for injury that the placing of cones involves, the practice had been discouraged by Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police. Quoted from Wikipedia

Lady Godiva, in Coventry is another that was often similarly "adorned".
The road from the town centre to the main campus / National Library Wales had road works inflicted on it for some months, which caused a certain amount of traffic chaos and delays. Almost at the end of one term, probably over one night of partying to celebrate the end of exams, a significant proportion of the cones were moved. A lot ended up in the trench, others on sign supports and quite a few went missing. That resulted in wide spread searches of student accommodation, even the smaller campus at Llanbadarn was not ignored - us post-grads were mildly amused, until we were also invaded.
The time lag meant a few unlocked lecturers offices and seminar rooms on the main campus acquired extra items.
This was before widespread CCTV so most involved were not traced.
If I recall correctly, most of the cones were returned (eventually).
