Yellow Spray Paint Defaces Richard III Statue | Leicester News
Description
Some vandals just can’t resist tagging Richard the Third’s statue in Leicester with bright yellow spray paint—this time covering his armor and sword. It’s the latest in a string of disrespect, following a 2016 incident where someone bent his sword (a repair costing thousands). The visitor center called it “senseless vandalism” and has reported it to city crews. The bronze statue, gifted in 1980 and moved to its current cathedral spot in 2014, remains a key historical landmark. Authorities hope to restore it quickly—and that this kind of damage doesn’t become the norm.
