Black Lives Matter protester Jen Reid said she 'shed a tear' when she saw a sculpture of her replace that of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol on Wednesday. Artist Marc Quinn had the new statue installed without council permission. The statue replicates a photograph of Reid with her fist raised taken after the 17th century merchant was toppled by Black Lives Matter demonstrators last month
Arriving in two lorries before 5am, a team of 10 people worked quickly to install the figure of Reid, who said she had been secretly working with Quinn on the idea for weeks
