Despite all the bad press that the searches english, mayor and Riga bring up, there is one result that is a little more interesting and it relates to the late Džordžs Armitsteds or George Armistaed - one time mayor of Riga (1901 - 1912) nephew of the founder of the George Armisted shipping company and Baron of Armistead.He is credited with the design of the gardens in the centre of Riga and his statue was unveiled by the Queen on a state visit to Latvia - but now, judging by the dog's polished ears is a well loved climbing frame and child distraction.
