ARTWORK commemorating the Barnsley Pals will be installed outside the town hall today.

The work - created by Barnsley-born artist Rachel Welford - will sit pride of place in Barnsley Pals Centenary Square.

Rachel has created three columns made from layers of toughened, laminated glass. The columns are person-sized which alludes to the human group of Pals and their families.

The largest work will be at the top of the steps in the town hall gardens, with the other two being placed at the edge of two of the bedding areas.

Rachel said: "I'm really looking forward to seeing the artwork in place, and hope the people of Barnsley feel it's a fitting tribute to the town's brave soldiers of World War One.

"Being originally from Barnsley, it felt a real honour to be chosen to create the artwork."
