What great Sculpture Seaham must be very proud and where it is placed on the main road everyone can see it

Local artist sculptured and the solider was placed in the spot until a buyer was found, except the locals fell in love with it. Luckily they fought tooth and nail to keep. The sculpture itself is quite moving up close and is a reminder of the sacrifice made by our brave ancestors. Lest we forget.

Worth a long trip to see this…………..( Why a min. 100 characters when 35 was enough!!!!! So what else, nothing that is 100!!!!

I cant go to Seaham without saying hello to Tommy He is a loved piece of culture, loved by not just people from Seaham but also from further afield A masterpiece

This is by far the best statue I have seen and I am proud like most people who live here are that we have this iconic statue here to stay. The only thing I think that needs to be improved is the grass around it that has died because of how many people stand around it. Maybe it should be paved slightly. If your near by then visit this...

worth a visit. Although "faceless" the expression says it all. A very moving sculpture for a very moving time in our history. The artist responsible is a genius having made with by metal fabrication

Tommy is a credit to Seaham. The talent of the artist who made him is incredible. Everyone should see Tommy at least once. He totally epitomises everything about that era

I first saw this statue back in December. The work that has gone into him is just amazing. I brought my husband today to see him and just to stand and look at the statue with the same amazement as myself.It's a great reminder of the pain and suffering these soldiers went through for the freedom we have today.
