Nulli Secundus (Lot 14)
Sponsor: Windsor Yards • Artist: Louella Fernandez-Lempiäinen
About the lion Nulli Secundus means 'Second to None', which is the motto of the Coldstream Guards, the oldest continuously serving regiment in the British Army. This smart little cub is a tribute to the Coldstream Guards, which guard The Queen at Windsor Castle and can be deployed at short notice to anywhere in the world. Nulli Secundus is wearing a specially-made Guards uniform, complete with gold buttons and bearskin. Roarsome!
