LONDON, UK.- The family of Sir Winston Churchill attacked the BBC for a sculpture that they called "absurd, silly and undignified" and claims to celebrate the Prime Minister. The BBC spent �50,000 on the work. The work in now on view at Westminster Hall an it is made up of 20 pieces of oak assembled into a roughly-square, see-through 'timber tower'. The work is titled Song and was made by Paul de Monchaux.

Nicholas Soames, grandson of Churchill, said that it resembled "nothing more than a pile of upturned grocery boxes".

Mr Soames stated, "This is a typical BBC gesture. It's a case of a lot of clever people getting it completely wrong. It is simply impossible for anyone to look at this and see the connection to my grandfather. My family thinks it is absurd. It is not serious, not sensible, not dignified, just BBC silly. I thought the poll showed our country in a very good light, but this statue will mean nothing to the people who voted. Will I take my children along to see it? Of course I bloody won't. Why would you take any child to see such a ridiculous thing?"
