Erect

One of the lions outside the Great Victoria Hotel, looking resplendent in the afternoon sunshine.

A quick consultation suggests that this pose is known in heraldic circles as "sejant erect," and given it's displaying a shield I expect those are the circles that matter.

13yo and I had just alighted from the bus and were heading over to the Media Museum Imax for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It didn't disappoint.
