In July of 2002, theatre producer Paul Kelleher, 37, decapitated a £150,000, 8ft marble sculpture of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Using a cricket bat hidden in his trousers, Kelleher took a swipe at the statue which was on display at the Guildhall Art Gallery, central London. When he failed to knock off the head, he grabbed a metal pole to complete the act.

In January 2003, a jury found him guilty of criminal damage and he was later sentenced to three months in jail.
