Well what an incredible experience that was. Thank you to all of my family and friends for your amazing support and for the very kind compliments that have been flooding in since I appeared on Antony Gormley’s Fourth Plinth. A particular mention of thanks must go to the One & Other staff who were wonderful throughout the whole process. Huge thanks of course to Antony Gormley as without his vision the event would not have happened.

I was watched from all parts of the globe and some of your comments have been very humbling indeed and I feel incredibly honoured by them. In response to the many requests to get some pictures out here are a few from my hour……

Once again, thank you to Antony Gormley and the team at One and Other and Sky Arts for enabling me to participate in such an exciting project.
As with all other images uploaded to my news page these are a good resolution, simply click to enlarge.
I would also like to thank everyone who has “clicked” the LIKE THIS POST against my entries on my One & Other blog page http://www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/billingtonart/blog
It took me a few attempts at entering some info before I realised that there was a character limit on my posts, hence the abrupt ending of the first few, nonetheless I have had some good feedback from people who liked my “Anything Is Possible” motto, and the fact that I didn’t spend all of my time on my mobile phone.
Finally, if you missed me on the plinth, or want to view it again, here is a link to the stream, sometimes it can be slow to load, or stall depending on the demand on the servers I would presume.

Thank you ever so much Viv, such kind words and glad to see you are up and about already x
CHRIS BILLINGTON I saw you live and I have watched the video of you on the Fourth Plinth seven times already, you were the BEST by far, I think you should have been in the newspapers.
Thank you for being so entertaining and original.
