Sleeping Beauty?

[DanaC]

From the BBC News website:

A sculpture of a dead Prince Harry in military uniform is going on show at a London hotel, intended to honour those willing but unable to serve in Iraq.
It shows the prince lying with his head on a Bible and a vulture at his feet.

Artist Daniel Edwards said it shows the prince's spirit "must have died the day they told him he couldn't serve".

I must admit I find this fairly distasteful. Before anybody jumps all over me (and not in a good way) I am not saying I want it banned, broken or burned...Just that I consider it to be in very, very, poor taste.

I'd be interested to hear what others think of this, and in particular I'd quite like to hear what any serving or ex-soldiers think.
