A SCULPTOR from near York who is working on a bronze statue of Captain Sir Tom Moore is reaching the final stages of his creation. And it comes as the UK prepares to celebrate what would have been the inspirational fundraiser’s 101st birthday. Andrian Melka began work on a 2m clay statue of Sir Tom in February following the news of his death, and it is now almost ready to be cast in bronze and donated to Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Mr Melka, of Bolton Percy, south of York, hopes the sculpture will provide inspiration for staff, patients and visitors and remind them that “one step in front of the other will get you somewhere”.
