Angel of the North at 20: The story of the Angel set to stunning drone shots

"The Angel of the North doesn't belong to me, it belongs to where it is and I'm very humbled and amazed.

"It means a lot to me, but I think it means a lot to lots of people."

The words of artist Antony Gormley as he reflected with ITV Tyne Tees on his statue celebrating 20 years since it was hoisted on a mound of a former pit colliery in Gateshead.
