Soldier sculpture installed at Bamburgh Castle for VE day

The sculpture was made from the same weathering steel used in the Angel of the North and was designed to change over time.

Unlike traditional memorials, the sculpture is designed to move between locations, continuing its role as a travelling tribute.

Bryceland said he wanted to thank everyone involved for making the installation happen.

Francis Watson-Armstrong, owner of Bamburgh Castle, said: “It’s an honour to have Christopher’s sculpture standing sentinel here at Bamburgh Castle to mark VE Day.

“George is a striking focal point and a fitting reminder of the courage, sacrifice and resilience shown by servicemen and women.”

The sculpture, which is on display at the castle can be viewed daily.
