Susie's game for Fourth Plinth session

An Edinburgh woman has spent time posing as a statue as part of the high-profile Fourth Plinth art project in London.

Susie Barron, 28, works for the Anthony Nolan Trust, an organisation which matches bone marrow donors with those who need a transplant.

She took part in Anthony Gormley's One and Other project in Trafalgar Square, and faced a number of challenges in a game show style, such as singing, hula-hooping and dancing, to raise cash and awareness for the trust.

Speaking afterwards, she said: "I originally applied to go on the plinth because I thought it was a great idea. I love the fact that the general public has got behind this and there are others willing to become living pieces of art.

"I wanted to make the most of the opportunity to raise awareness about the Anthony Nolan Trust."
