all good things ... was the title I think of the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation
but holds true here to mark the final day of the 4th plinth project in London.
The cherry picker collected the last plinther shortly after 9am this morning, having to remind her to bring her belongings with her as she left, and returned a few minutes later bearing men with cutting equipment to remove the safety netting.
There has been far more publicity today at the close of the project than there ever was during it, which must say something about what news editors think are good stories.
Up here we have our ceremonial t.shirt safely preserved for posterity - and are grateful to be in that place where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt.
Though we're not quite so sure about mildew.
