The first Charles Dickens statue in the UK was unveiled, on 7th February 2014, which would have been his 202nd birthday.

The bronze statue of the writer, surrounded by books, is in Guildhall Square in Portsmouth, the city in which he was born.

The statue was made by Oxfordshire sculptor Martin Jennings, whose previous works include sculptures of poets John Betjeman at London's St Pancras Station and Philip Larkin in Hull.
