And you would be correct. The Magna Carta Memorial at Runnymede, designed by Sir Edward Maufe, paid for by the ABA.
You can be King John. Good luck with that.

It's very strange as I've posted loads (relatively speaking) mainly on other posts within the Quizzes & Games fora but my message count doesn't increase. No idea why but thank you for the welcome.

Staying on the theme of monuments...
There is a monument in Vancouver, Canada beside the Maritime Museum in Vanier Park that has a UK "twin." What type of monument is it and where in the UK would you find it's twin?

The message count does not increase for any postings in Quizzes and Games; only postings to discussions count. There must be a reason for that, but I can't recall what it is.

Thanks for confirming.
Is it a war memorial similar to that at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire?

Is it a statue of Captain Vancouver? In the UK there is one in King's Lynn (his home town).

Is it a clock?

Or is it that silly monument made out of tires (tyres)?

Ok time for a clue I think. The location of the UK item is very close to Runnymede in the previous question.

This park used to be a First Nation site, so is it to do with First Nation culture? A Totem Pole?

It is indeed a totem pole. And any idea where it's UK twin is?

Are you thinking of Berkhampstead?

That rules out Salford then. I know there is one in the British Museum but surely that is cheating?

It's located outside and not as part of a museum setting.

If i say that it was a gift to Her Majesty would that help with the location?

Close enough - it's by Virginia Water Lake which is part of Windsor Great Park.
Presented to mark the centenary of the founding of British Columbia.
As @xotGD established it is a totem pole and @Calthrop the location I'll let you decide between the two of you who has the next question...
