Statue of queen derided as looking more like Mrs Doubtfire

Mockery and indignation follow unveiling of sculpture of late monarch at Antrim Castle Gardens in Northern Ireland

One critic said it made the late queen look like Mrs Doubtfire. Others faulted the shape of the face, the posture and the wellies. Some called it offensive and ridiculous, and demanded it be melted down.

Mockery and indignation began within hours of the unveiling of the bronze statue of Queen Elizabeth II at Antrim Castle Gardens in Northern Ireland on Friday.
