'Prince 'saving the world' statue will go in Brazilian town square
A giant bronze statue depicting a winged Prince of Wales "saving the world" is to take pride of place in a Brazilian town square named in his honour.
A foot-high replica of the sculpture was presented to the Prince as he went deep into the Amazonian rainforest.
The Prince reached the remote Cangacu research station by means of a plane, helicopter and then a motor launch along the Javaes River.
He was welcomed to the region by a group of Karaja Indians who performed a traditional dance and presented him with gifts of a hunting club and a beaded garland.
With royal permission, the statue will be recreated in a full-size version to be erected in the state capital Palmas in a place to be named Prince Charles Square.
The statue, whose face bears more than a passing resemblance to the Prince, shows him reaching out with arching wings instead of arms.
"It is Prince Charles saving the world," explained Jose Wilson Sequeira Campos, the governor of Tacantins state, in the centre of Brazil.
The 53-year-old Prince professed himself "amazed" and "deeply touched" with the idea.
The artist, Mauricio Bentes, moulded his subject with a full head of hair, small pinned-back ears and bulging pectorals.
But the face is unmistakably that of Charles as Bentes, who is well known in the region, studied pictures of the Prince on the Internet to capture his likeness.'
The birds have to crap somewhere, I suppose...
