There were cheers and clapping as the monument was lifted from its plinth using a crane.

The Museum of London Docklands said the statue of the prominent British Slave trader, who owned two sugar plantations and 526 slaves in Jamaica, had "stood uncomfortably" outside its premises "for a long time".

Even with these steps in place, such events are currently not allowed.

Women serving shorter prison sentences have a reoffending rate of 70%, according to the Prison Reform Trust. But Whitney was determined not to go back to crime after leaving prison, and discovered boxing as a way to 'channel my energy somewhere else'.

"When it comes women with convictions, they're pushed to 'conventional jobs', like hairdressing," Whitney says. "I don't think we push women enough out of their comfort zones."

Description: Comic Relief and Children in Need are joining forces for the first time tonight to deliver a very special night of television during these unprecedented times called "The Big Night In".

Money raised by the appeal will be used to support local charities which coming under increasing pressure during the Coronavirus outbreak.

Someone who's benefited from Children in Need is nine-year-old Callum from Benfleet, who has cerebral palsy.

Over the years he's spent a lot of time in and out of King's College Hospital in London... where the money you've raised has gone to support fun activities to make his time away from home that extra bit special.

Well the last time we saw him was on Children in Need night in November... so we asked his mum to make a film for us to show how they're coping with life in lockdown.

Her parents say they have since made a nice curry with the expensive onions.
