Mermaids in Trafalgar Square - London, England, UK - Epic Beings and Creatures on Waymarking.com

The two large fountains in Trafalgar Square are memorials to Lord Jellicoe (western side) and Lord Beatty (eastern side). One features a sculpture with a mermaid swimming with a child merman (or merboy?) with dolphins and fish...maybe one is a small whale. The other fountain (which is already Waymarked at (visit link) has an adult merman with another merboy with dolphins.
The artist is William McMillan.
Mermaids have a wide representation in myth and folklore...with the first known mentions in ancient Syria around 1000 BC. See the Wikipedia article on mermaids at (visit link)
