A famous photograph of Winston Churchill snapped in 1941 has gone missing from an Ottawa hotel and replaced with a fake.
The photo – known as “the Roaring Lion” – was taken by Yousuf Karsh shortly after Churchill gave a wartime speech to Canada’s parliament.
A staff member at the Château Laurier hotel first noticed the photograph had been replaced on 19 August.
Police are investigating the incident.
