A North East sand artist has created a stunning tribute ahead of Remembrance Day on Friday.
Sunderland -based Claire Eason, 58, created a huge depiction of a peace dove flying over a poppy field on Beadnell Beach with the help of the local community. The artwork, which measured around 100 x 60 feet, took around four hours to complete.
Retiree Claire started on the morning of October 29 by creating a grid out of sticks and builder's string, the part she describes as "very primitive." She was then joined on the beach by children from Embleton Vincent Edwards Church of England Primary School, 1st Embleton Guides, and Seahouses Youth Project; as well as members of the local Beadnell community to complete the design, which was being transferred from Claire's own sketch to the sand.
