THE FRIENDS of the Tenth Appeal was in the media spotlight when BBC Radio Leicester broadcast a special feature on the mission to create a memorial in Somerby.

Alec Wilson, Chairman of the Friends group, and stone sculptor Graeme Mitcheson were interviewed by BBC correspondent Bridget Blair about the fund-raising campaign.

This was featured on the Ben Jackson programme this week and will be repeated on Sunday 3rd September between 1.00pm and 2.00pm in the Talking History programme.
