Peter Pan
In grateful memory of Sir James Barrie (1860 - 1937) for his gift to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and in warm appreciation of the exceptional support of Audrey and James Callaghan.

In 2005, after our photo, Tinkerbell was added to the statue, fluttering up to Peter's left hand.
