A statue in memory of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, the schoolgirl who was the first person to have air pollution recorded as a cause of death on her death certificate, has been unveiled in a park near her south London home.

The bronze “shows her as she was – happy, confident and full of potential”. It stands 1.37m or 4ft 6in tall – the same height Ella was when she died aged nine in February 2013.
