FROM 2D TO 3D ON TRUCE DAY

10 year old Spencer Turner won a competition to create the best design for a First World War monument to be sited at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire. The Newcastle primary schoolboy's design was chosen from 30,000 entries and the news was broken to him by Newcastle United footballers, Steven Taylor and Adam Armstrong. Once the design had been turned into a 3-D sculpture, it was erected at its permanent site and unveiled by HRH Duke of Cambridge, along with Roy Hodgson, some of his present England squad including Theo Walcott and FA representative Greg Dyke.

This occasion marks another important event based on the Christmas Truce which has been celebrated by the FA on their website this week. Look at the FA.com or my previous blogs for more news.
