In British eyes, Turing was the ultimate codebreaking hero. His achievements now take pride of place at Bletchley Park in the form of this life-sized statue, made over 18 months from 500,000 slithers of Welsh slate.

The statue shows Turing, in typically scruffy attire, puzzling over an Enigma machine on his desk. The statue was paid for by a foundation set up by the late American philanthropist Sidney Frank, who wanted to recognise the war's unsung heroes.

To donate to the Bletchley Park Trust, please contact the Trust's director, Simon Greenish, or his personal assistant, Sue May, on +44 (0)1908 640404.
