Looking out to sea

Whilst visiting the coast we came upon this amazing sculpture.
The steel work on the North Bay, which depicts an old soldier sitting on a bench, was loaned for one month by artist Ray Lonsdale.
The piece, called Freddie Gilroy and the Belsen Stragglers, is based on the former miner who was one of the first Allied soldiers to enter the Belsen concentration camp on its liberation in World War II
The piece was later bought by a lady who had always loved the area and was kindly donated to the people of Scarborough.
