On July 3, 2002, Paul Kelleher decapitated a £150,000, 8-foot, 1.8 tonne marble statue of the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on display at the Guildhall Art Gallery in central London.

Having unsuccessfully swiped the statue with a Slazenger V600 cricket bat concealed in his trousers, Kelleher used a metal rope support stanchion to decapitate the statue
After the beheading, he waited to be arrested by the police who arrived minutes later. He said on capture, "I think it looks better like that."
