Trafalgar Square is a well known landmark in Central London. Exciting things are always happening there.
The square commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, where Nelson won a significant naval battle over France.

(Over the centuries, the two countries have had a small rivalry, and one or two skirmishes. HA! And one or two of their little battles were fought in Canada. HA!)
Nelson's statue is in the middle, gallantly looking out to sea.
There are 4 plinths (heavy bases for statues) on the outside corners of the square.
One plinth has been left empty since it was built in 1840. The art changes on this empty base.
Currently this statue holds the honorary position.
Yes, you see it correctly, it is, a big blue cock.
