Tommy is a statue of a First World War soldier by artist Ray Lonsdale, displayed close to Seaham war memorial, on Terrace Green by the seafront in Seaham, County Durham.
The corten steel statue weighs 1.2 tonnes (1.2 long tons; 1.3 short tons) and is 9 feet 5 inches (2.87 m) tall, with a rusty red patina. It depicts a First World War soldier, wearing boots, puttees, greatcoat and tin hat, sitting on an ammunition box, with downcast eyes, holding the barrel of his grounded rifle in his right hand.
This picture was taken on remembrance day in 2016, and in the foreground is a mini-sculpture of Tommy which was brought along by another visitor to the statue on that night. The red painted stones are placed there in November in the shape of a huge poppy.
This is front lit with a torch, and in the background you can see the light of the car light trails due to the long exposure
