On Saturday, an artist using the name DLR placed a large “Walnut Whip” chocolate bar-shaped prop on the head of the bronze statue of Queen Victoria. Multiple reports describe the action as a Bank Holiday prank and say the item is not actually edible: the “chocolate crown” is made from polystyrene. The reports identify the performer as DLR, an artist known for placing oversized or humorous items on public statues, though they provide limited additional background beyond the Saturday incident. The accounts are consistent in that the prop is shaped like a Walnut Whip and is positioned atop the statue’s head, drawing attention from passers-by and observers. The coverage focuses on the playful nature of the placement and the fact that the chocolate bar is a lightweight imitation rather than a real confectionery item. None of the provided details address any official response, whether the prop is removed, or any legal or public-safety outcomes from the prank.
