Генри Джон Темпл, с 1802 года 3-й виконт Палмерстон - английский государственный деятель, долгие годы руководил обороной, затем внешней политикой государства, премьер-министр Великобритании в 1855—1858 и 1859—1865 годах.
Происходил из старинной ирландской аристократической семьи.
До самой смерти Палмерстон сохранял юношескую бодрость и энергию (в 1863 году 79-летний Палмерстон, известный дамский угодник, был соответчиком по одному бракоразводному делу), вместе с замечательным здоровьем, и умер после очень непродолжительной болезни. Смерть его была встречена как национальное несчастье. Палмерстон стал четвёртым лицом, не принадлежавшим к королевскому дому, удостоенным государственных похорон в Вестминстерском аббатстве (после Исаака Ньютона, Горацио Нельсона и герцога Веллингтона).

A controversial figure, Palmerstons legacy is that of engaging in numerous conflicts to advance British interests in the early Victorian era. This is a man who opened China, demolished the protectionist Canton System and championed global Free Trade. It was a privilege to see this statue

This statue of Viscount Palmerston stands amongst his fellow political leaders of the United Kingdom, Britain and the Commonwealth. A two time Prime Minister, he's probably not the most well known Prime Minister outside of his home country. In addition to his premiership, he served in a number of prominent positions within the government. Most notably for his tenure as foreign minister and his political handling in the interests of the empire, at the height of the empire.

The bronze sculpture shows Viscount Palmerston standing upright dressed as a prominent man of his time. The right arm holds an overcoat and the left hand pointing.
