The names of 500 men who lost their lives to prostate cancer take pride of place on a moving memorial unveiled in Newcastle today.
Men's health charity Prostate Cancer UK unveiled its remembrance structure, 'The Prostate Cancer Memorial', in its new home at Eldon Square. The 10ft structure is currently touring the UK and will remain in Newcastle until September.
It's a particularly poignant home for the memorial, having been inspired by a local love story which was cut short by prostate cancer. Michelle and Doug Blythe, who grew up in Jarrow and South Shields respectively, were married for 42 years before avid Newcastle FC supporter Doug passed away in 2017.
