Silhouetted against the sky is the little girl at the top of the Arthur Aaron's statue on Eastgate Roundabout, as she releases the dove of peace. The statue, in bronze, sculptured by Graham Ibbeson, was commissioned for the millennium, funded by the Scurrah Wainwright Trust and commemorates the young life of Arthur Aaron. He died during World War II after landing his severely damaged bomber safely saving the lives of his crew. He was awarded the Victoria Cross. Photograph courtesy of James W.
