The Duke of Wellington in Glasgow city centre has a new cone on the top of its head with the colours of the Ukrainian flag.



The statue normally has a traditional red and white cone on top of it, but Garry McWhirter was filmed replacing it with a blue and yellow one.

The video which was first posted to Twitter has now had over 700k views.
