The arch has a colourful history and has been an eye catching memorial in the capital for nearly two centuries.
The arch did have a model of the Duke of Wellington on top of it, but the arch was moved in the 1880s and until the 1890s it had no sculpture on top of it. The arch has historical significance, and it is the last time the coffin of Queen Elizbeth II will be seen in London.
