How do you remember a father you didn’t know? In today’s bonus summer episode we look at the story behind an important local memorial overlooking the harbour. See how one man’s attempt to give honour to his father, would only be fulfilled by similarly honouring more than fifty other families at the same time.
What is the one local monument or memorial that moves you most? Is it connected to your family or your own personal story? We would love to hear your reasons why!
