A life-sized sculpture by the artist Sir Antony Gormley has been unveiled on the Suffolk coast.

The cast-iron sculpture sits on top of the Martello Tower in Aldeburgh, one of five places in the UK that was specially chosen by the artist.

They were commissioned by The Landmark Trust to mark the charity's 50th birthday. The trust restored the decaying tower back in the 1970's.

The sculpture will stand tall on the Suffolk coastline until May 2016.

It's also Antony Gormley's only solo outdoor installation in the UK in 2015.
