Happy 2nd Birthday to the Walsall Corgis! 🎂🐾

Can you believe it's been two years since these sculptures were unveiled at Walsall Arboretum as a lasting tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II?

Created by local artists Planet Art, the corgis have become a familiar sight outside the Visitor Centre and a favourite photo spot for visitors.

Whether your four-legged friend has stopped by for a drink from their water bowls, you've spotted them while enjoying a coffee at the cafe, or the kids have posed for a photo with them, they've certainly become part of life down the arbo. 🐶💚
