The pigeon that saved lives in WWII gets a statue
A new statue has been unveiled in Dundee to honour a pigeon who became a World War Two heroine.
Winkie was one of the first ever recipients of the Dickin medal, for animals that displayed conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty while serving the Armed Forces.
She received the medal for her role in the rescue of aircrew that crashed in the North Sea in 1942.
The bronze statue is part of a new development of flood defences beside the river Tay and sits on the floodgates in Beach Crescent.
