Speaking on the event itself, Camilla said, “In 2002, my beloved brother, Mark, helped create the charity Elephant Family, to protect Asia’s magnificent wildlife.

“Over the past few weeks, Londoners have had the rare opportunity to see some of that wildlife (albeit in static form) on the Mall, in Green Park, in St. James’s Park and in Berkely Square.

“These magnificent, life-sized elephants have roamed – with little help – from the Nilgiri Hills of Southern India to the Cotswolds, to the heart of the city to raise awareness of the vital importance of healthy co-existence between humans and animals.

“They are a timely reminder to us all to live well with Nature, wherever we may be.”
