This is a table centre for Blind Veterans UK military dinner held in remembrance week.
It is a collaboration by Me Neil Lawton & Eamonn Caswell (silver).
Neil turned the poppy out of oak. Eamonn’s did the laser cut of The Lads & I did the rest.
The Lads have become a symbol of our charity showing Blind soldiers leading each other off the battlefield.
The original life size sculpture is at Llandudno & a bronze sculpture is outside Manchester Piccadilly railway station.
I’ve done it in black as a silhouette with the poppy as a backdrop.

Absolutely fantastic it really looks good.

It's a massive credit to you [MENTION=603]Bill Mooney[/MENTION] [MENTION=120]Neil[/MENTION] and [MENTION=165]silver[/MENTION] anything concerning veterans means a lot not just to me being a veteran myself but countless others.

Thank you all three of you for collaborating and producing this work of art. :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

Lovely work Bill, I pass the bronze sculpture every time I go in or out of Piccadilly station, it is indeed a fitting tribute.

First class collaboration. First class piece.:thumbs::thumbs: But what gets me is people on ebay selling things to do with Remembrance day and keeping all of the money they make for them self. That really gets up my back, I just wish ebay would or could do somthing about it.
