Vandals have desecrated a Jewish memorial with raw meat in an apparent antisemitic attack.
Raw chicken and slabs of red meat were found covering the drinking fountain in Whitechapel, east London.
The memorial was paid for by Jewish residents to honour King Edward VII in the early 20th century.
The inscription on the sculpture reads: “In grateful and loyal memory of Edward VII, Rex et Imperator, Erected by subscriptions raised by Jewish inhabitants of East London, 1911.”
