"This piece of artwork is something which makes me extremely proud" - said Channel 4 SAS Who Dares Wins presenter and former Royal Marine Chris Oliver who was back in his home city to help friend and screw artist Darren Timby put the finishing touches to his latest Armistice Day design.
In August, to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War, Darren embarked on his mission to recruit 80 armed forces veterans to create a special image merging wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill with an unnamed soldier.
Darren's unique designs involve using different coloured screws to represent each pixel from an image, which, when put together, recreate the photograph in screws.
Darren has already hosted a number of events with veterans making contributions by adding screws, with the final image now starting to take shape. Specially arranged events have taken place at the Navy Club, Southwick War Memorial, and East Durham Veterans Trust.
