I was thrilled to be offered use of the space, said Mr Clark.
Previously Mr Clark made a life-size sculpture of Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa in March 2020, raising more than £9,500 for the Mind mental health charity.
The Bielsa statue, entitled
King of the North, will join the Captain Tom creation, from Saturday, June 12, as well as other famous people encapsulated in life size bronze, brass and resin, at The Springs pop-up store.
Other famous faces from the world of football will include statues of the Leeds United and Scottish legend Billy Bremner, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, and Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
FLAGS will fly at half-mast and bells will toll across Bradford on Saturday in honour of Captain Sir Tom Moore and to mark the day of his funeral. The Keighley-born former British Army officer, who raised almost £33million for NHS Charities Together in the run-up to his 100th birthday last year, died earlier this month. Flags on civic buildings will be at half-mast across the Bradford district and the bells of Bradford City Hall clock tower will play Abide With Me and You’ll Never Walk Alone at 12pm as a tribute. The bells of Bradford Cathedral will also toll 100 times from 6pm, once for each day of his life.
BRADFORD Council is supporting a fundraising campaign to install a bronze sculpture of Captain Sir Tom Moore in the district. Captain Sir Tom Moore, who was born and raised in Keighley, touched the hearts and minds of people across the UK and around the world with his fighting spirit and optimism during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the eve of his 100th birthday, he decided to raise money for the NHS by walking laps of his garden. When he began his journey, with the aid of a walking frame, his goal was to raise £1,000. But this simple act got the attention of the world’s media and, as the news travelled, donations flooded in and he raised over £32 million and attracted the admiration and affection of millions more.
