Lovely write up about today!
@bbcoxford “I am looking forward to sculpting Nigel and particularly his iconic moustache.”
A bronze sculpture of former @f1 World Champion Nigel Mansell is to be made to mark his 25th anniversary as president of @uk.youth
The charity supports vulnerable young people to turn their lives around.
Mansell, 70, won the world title driving for @williamsracing - based in #Grove in 1992.
He is the latest famous face to sit for sculptor @frances_segelman, who has already sculpted more than 200 people, including royalty such as Queen Elizabeth II.
Mansell compared the process of sitting for the sculpture with driving a formula 1 car, saying: “You have to be statue-esque, you have to be very still and you have to deal with different positions.”
Ms Segelman said: “I just love sculpting people who have led amazing lives and I am looking forward to sculpting Nigel and particularly his iconic moustache.”
The idea for the latest bust came after Mansell was present at the unveiling of Frances’s Princess Anne piece, at UK Youth’s Avon Tyrrell outdoor learning centre in the New Forest, last year.
“To watch Frances, who is an incredibly talented lady, she’s been sculpting now and doing bronzes for thirty five years, so it’s just amazing,” the two-time BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner said.
“All of a sudden, it comes alive, you sort of have the outline to begin with which could be anybody, and then after a few hours sculpturing it, it turns into someone that looks like you very closely and you go ‘that’s a bit weird’.”
It is hoped the bust – set to be officially unveiled in October after it is cast in bronze – will stand alongside that of the Princess Royal at the entrance of UK Youth’s planned new learning centre at Avon Tyrrell.
On Monday Frances and Simon attended an ‘evening in conversation with Dame Judi Dench’, hosted by Gemma Levine, at Claridge’s.
Dame Judi was joined by Simon Callow, Dame Joanna Lumley, Finty Williams, Sam Williams and many more for an unforgettable event, raising over £40,000 for St George’s Hospital Charity’s Lymphoedema Research Fund.
Gemma Levine’s work in raising awareness was also celebrated, alongside inspiring stories from those affected by the disease.
You can find out more about Lymphoedema Research Fund using the link in @stgeorgeshospitalcharity’s bio.

Great post by @nationalportraitgallery of the bust Frances sculpted of Sir Ben Helfgott:
This bronze bust of Sir Ben Helfgott, Olympic weightlifter and Holocaust survivor, was commissioned to celebrate Helfgott’s knighthood in 2018, received for his services to Holocaust remembrance and education.
Born to Jewish parents in Nazi-occupied Poland, Helfgott survived ghettos, slave labour and concentration camps, where his mother and younger sister were both killed. He arrived in Britain in 1945, aged 15, as part of a group of young Jewish refugees taken to the Lake District - they became known as The Windermere Children.
📍 Find this portrait on display in Room 28, Floor 2
