Created by local artist Ray Lonsdale, Eleven 'O' One Sculpture or Tommy is fabricated from Corus Steel, stands 9ft 5in tall & weighs 1.2 tonne's.
The artist took around five months to construct / fabricate the piece that symbolises both the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War 1 and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I managed to get a cameo shot of Ray for prosperity. I am sure that he is very approachable but he was in good company, enjoying the moment, so why disturb his privacy.
Local volunteers from Seaham have set up a fund to purchase Tommy, so that he can become a permanent fixture on the Seaham seafront. The fund is well on its way to reaching its £85,000+vat target (vat on everything nowadays?!).
Hundreds of people visited Tommy, during the couple of hours that I was filming. Including two young children that had brought along a large whiskey bottle containing their life savings. One of the volunteers was moved to tears saying 'that is the kindest thing that I have ever seen anyone do' another private moment and why should I have ruined it by sticking my camera in the way.
County Durham contains a lot of kind and talented people!
