MO MOWLAM MEMORIAL UNVEILED
Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council hosted an afternoon of celebration to officially unveil John Todd's memorial mosaic, created to honour the life of the late former Redcar MP, Mo Mowlam, at Redcar's newly-refurbished boating lake.
The intricate 800 tile mosaic, set in a three-metre raised circle near the water's edge, illustrates Mo's life and interests, with her portrait as the centrepiece surrounded by images including the beach where she loved to walk, racehorses at Redcar Racecourse, where she celebrated her wedding, the steelworks, the Zetland lifeboat, clasped hands and doves to symbolise the Northern Ireland peace process and the Houses of Parliament.
