In August last year a performance artist who had arrived in Hong Kong from Beijing made a brutal attack on the Queen's face, smashing off her nose, and covered the white statue with bright red paint. The "artist" sat alone in front of the statue, also painting herself blood red.
去年八月，北京來港的一位行動藝術家，在女王像的臉上大動干戈，啪達一聲，將她的鼻子砸碎了，原先一身白的女王塑像，也被漆上鮮紅色，「藝術家」則獨坐在雕像前，也漆上一身血紅。
