A dog from Loughborough which served during the Second World War is being recognised with a metal sculpture in Queen’s Park. Bing was trained to locate the enemy and protect military personnel during the Second World War and was awarded the Dickin Medal in 1947 for bravery in service – the animal equivalent to the Victoria Cross. The unique sculpture of Bing unveiled in Queen’s Park was designed and created by Loughborough artist Duncan Thurlby. Community Engagement Officer for Charnwood Borough Council, Nicola Clarke, spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester's Sparky.
