Eager visitors flocked to the picturesque Walsall Arboretum to watch the unveiling of two corgi statues that were commissioned by Walsall Council to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her two favourite dogs.
The stone corgis, which cost £35,000, have drawn people to the park since their unveiling on Saturday, with many noting how "beautiful" they are - but some felt that "the money could have been spent elsewhere".
Claire Williams, 43, of Walsall, said: "They're lovely, aren't they? Just look at them - they're a bit big for regular corgis, but they're amazing.
"I saw them when they were unveiled, they look really good."
While the statues impressed many of those who came to visit, some didn't quite understand the meaning behind the sculptures.
