The instagram challenge 2022

During 2022 a recent challenge on Instagram by the #lighthousegang has resulted in artists from around the world creating their own interpretations of LV72 sitting on the muddy bank on the River Neath at Neath Abbey South Wales,

 

 

a fantastic poem written by Andrew Addis-Fuller about LV72

Under a dark wide starry sky,

Engulfed with silt and mud I lie, distant memories of a past gone by, how once I shone beneath the darkest sky.

My light shone bright out into the night, it really was a marvellous sight,

For it was I who lit the way,

Guiding allied ships across the bay.

This my historic past, my duty calling, to light the way and stop France from falling.

But now in a grave of mud without glory,

Hoping that you will come and tell my story....
