Kes: Barnsley unveils statue tribute to author Barry Hines
A statue based on the main character from 1960s classic Kes has been unveiled in the author's home town.
Barry Hines , from Barnsley, published The Story - of a boy who adopts a wild kestrel - in 1968, and it was adapted for the screen a year later.
Director Ken Loach and star Dai Bradley, who played tearaway protagonist Billy Casper , both attended the unveiling of The Bronze sculpture.
Bradley praised the " wonderful" statue, which was funded by public donations.
The Actor thanked those who had helped to raise £100,000 and said artist Graham Ibbeson had done a " remarkable job" on the life-sized piece.
He believed it would " inspire generations to come" He Said .
Loach said it was a " privilege" to be at the unveiling to remember Barry Hines and his " great writing".
He Said The Statue of Billy, with Kes perched on his falconry glove, captured the central image of The Film .
" A boy, nobody thought he was worth anything, no time for him and yet he had a special quality that we see but no-one else does and that's The Bird .
" The Bird flies free but he remains rooted to The Earth with very few choices. "
Sculptor Mr Ibbeson, who donated his services for free, said he had envisioned The Statue as a piece that would " go in The Street , amongst the community and he is very much part of that community".
Barry Hines wrote A Number of novels, radio plays and TV films, alongside.
His other notable works include the 1984 drama-documentary Threads, which depicted a nuclear attack on Sheffield.
He also taught PE at a local Secondary School .
He at the Age Of 76.
The idea for the tribute came from Ronnie Steele, a former pupil of Barry Hines , who Set Up a committee to plan The Project in 2018.
