A statue of the peace campaigner Brian Haw, who spent 10 years camped outside the Palace of Westminster, is to be installed in south London after a campaign backed by Sir Mark Rylance and Brian Eno.

The 72cm-tall bronze maquette will be placed on a plinth opposite the big guns of the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth. It shows Haw towards the end of his life, in his early 60s, when he moved around on crutches – propped up yet defiant.
