On 23th April 2006 US actress Renee Zellweger attended the unveiling of a statue honouring the children's author Beatrix Potter. The Oscar-winning star said she hoped the 15ft (4.5m) bronze statue at Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria, would become "a distinctive local landmark".
The statue depicts three children releasing Potter's character Jemima Puddle-Duck. It also features characters from all of her 23 tales and a carving of one of her Lakeland homes, as well as the mysterious code she used in her personal diary.
