The decision will be made by the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group later this year and the winning artwork will be announced by the Mayor of London early next year.

The winning artwork will be mounted on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square.

But which is your favourite? Vote in our poll and let us know which proposal you’d like to see on the Fourth Plinth after Yinka Shonibare’s Ship in A Bottle.

This weekend, it’s time for the Lord Mayor’s Show.

A celebration of diversity in the capital, the Lord Mayor’s Show sees more than 6,000 people walk through the streets in a colourful procession of acrobats, costumes, music and dancing.

The procession begins at 11am at Mansion House following a military flypast. It will travel down Cheapside to St Paul’s Cathedral, where the Lord Mayor will be blessed before proceeding to the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand.

At 5pm, the Lord Mayor launches a spectacular fireworks display on the Thames between Blackfriars Bridge and Waterloo Bridge.

But what do you enjoy most about the annual Lord Mayor’s Show?
