... that after some of Anders Årfelt's lion sculptures (example pictured) were struck during the 2017 Stockholm truck attack the city ordered new versions weighing 3 tonnes (3.3 tons)?

Tributes on a lion sculpture
ALT1: ... that a lion sculpture by Anders Årfelt became the site of tributes to victims of the 2017 Stockholm truck attack(pictured)? Source: "och nu riktas även hyllningarna mot en dold hjälte – betonglejonet ... Sedan fredagen har lejonet överrösts av massor av blommor, ljus och kärlek och vi håller med om att lejonet skulle bli ett fint minnesmärke." which Google translates as: "now the tributes are also directed at a hidden hero – the concrete lion. ... Since Friday, the lion has been drowned out by lots of flowers, candles and love and we agree that the lion would make a nice memorial." from: "Därför borde betonglejonet som räddade Stockholm bli en staty - Metro Mode". metromode.se (in Swedish). 2017-04-12.

Overall: Both hooks are good, but my preference is Alt1 because: (1) hook is shorter and quicker to grasp; (2) the accompanying image for that one is more colourful and eye-catching. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 04:23, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
