A statue of the Queen on the fourth plinth of Trafalgar Square has been ruled out by Sadiq Khan for the foreseeable future.

A spokesman said on Wednesday: “The Fourth Plinth will continue to showcase new works by world-class artists for the foreseeable future. There are planned Fourth Plinth exhibits for the next four years."

MPs in the House of Commons had broadly voiced support for a statue of the late monarch on the vacant plinth.

The Mayor's office said that the Mayor would support a statue of the monarch: "A statue of the Queen at a suitable location in London is a matter for the Royal family to consider, and of course the Greater London Authority stands ready to support them in their wishes."

TalkTV's Mike Graham slammed the Mayor of London for ruling out putting up a statue of the late Queen.

"Sadiq Khan seems to think that London is his. Don't you dare tell us that we can't have a statue of the Queen, because the people of this country want it."
