St Clement Danes
Statues
### Statues

Outside the church stand statues of two of the RAF's wartime leaders, [Arthur "Bomber" Harris](/wiki/Arthur_Harris "Arthur Harris") and [Hugh Dowding](/wiki/Hugh_Dowding "Hugh Dowding"), both by the sculptor [Faith Winter](/wiki/Faith_Winter_%28artist%29 "Faith Winter (artist)").

The erection of the statue of Harris was controversial due to his responsibility for the [bombing of Dresden](/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II "Bombing of Dresden in World War II") and other bombing campaigns against German cities. Despite protests from Germany, including from the mayors of [Dresden](/wiki/Mayor_of_Dresden "Mayor of Dresden") and [Hamburg](/wiki/Mayor_of_Hamburg "Mayor of Hamburg") as well as some in Britain, the Bomber Harris Trust (an RAF veterans' organisation) erected a statue of him outside the RAF Church of St. Clement Danes in 1992\. It was unveiled by [Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother](/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_The_Queen_Mother "Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother") who looked surprised when she was jeered by protesters. The line on the statue reads "The Nation owes them all an immense debt". The statue had to be guarded by policemen day and night for some time as it was frequently sprayed with [graffiti](/wiki/Graffiti "Graffiti").
