'Light Nights: The Writing on the Wall' 131 Design commissioned to create artwork for Westbury Manor "In June 1944, just before D-Day, the streets of Fareham were full of soldiers - Canadian, American and British. They were waiting for the order to 'Go' - to cross the channel and land on the beaches of Normandy. They did not know when or where they were going....but as the final plans were drawn by Eisenhower and Montgomery at nearby Southwick House, the troops connected with the people of Fareham and with local children in the school on Osborne Road, now the Ashcroft Arts Centre. The Writing on the Wall is inspired by these events and by the permanent legacy that these events have left behind in Fareham"
