Sherlock Star Helps Raise Cash for Darlington Police Memorial
6:04am 30th July 2015
Darlington Police are remembering their fallen comrades.
They are raising money to build a memorial statue at Darlington Police station, with bake sales and sponsored runs.
Now Sedgefield born TV star Mark Gatiss is getting behind the campaign,
He is hosting "An evening with Mark Gatiss" at Darlington Civic Theatre to help raise cash for the sculpture.
Mark has a personal connection to the project, having lost someone close to him on the Force.
Chief Superintendent of Darlington Police Graham Hall said:
“We are absolutely thrilled that Mark has agreed to give up his time to back our appeal.
“Despite his fame, he is a local lad and has certainly not forgotten his roots.
“The memorial, which is being funded entirely from donations, will be a fitting tribute to our police colleagues who are sadly no longer with us.”
The police memorial will be sculptured from sandstone and located on the first floor of Darlington Police Station.
The stone will be transformed by hand using traditional methods by local stonemason David France.
Once completed the sculpture will be wall-mounted and supported by a metal frame built by Tony Petch.
It will then be lit by special lighting.
Anyone who wants to donate to the project can visit gofundme.com/darlingtonpolice.
Tickets to the Mark Gatiss event on Saturday, October 3rd are available through Darlington Civic theatre.
