Susan Boyle Set in Stone

The perfect statue?Plans are reportedly under way to create a statue of singing sensation Susan Boyle.

Plans to create a statue in honour of Susan Boyle have won the support of West Lothian Council, according to Scotsman.com.

The council believes the statue could bring flocks of tourists to her hometown of Blackburn, keen to pay tribute to the Britain's Got Talent singing sensation.

It is thought that the idea of a statue emerged as a suitable way to mark her achievements, after a couple from New York visited the town and wrote a web diary of life in Boyle's backyard.

This included a "heritage trail" of a chip shop, a Chinese takeaway, the hotel where she performed karaoke, and her council house.

Tom Church, the sculptor who created Stirling's William Wallace statue, gave his support to the idea, saying: "Susan is Scotland's wee Braveheart and I would love to set her in stone."

At the moment there are no permanent tributes in Blackburn, apart from the war memorial.

What do YOU think the statue should be like?
