If you’ve passed Pudsey Cenotaph or Bramley War Memorial recently, you may have been wondering why there’s a striking figure of a soldier lit up nearby.
The solitary ‘Tommy’ silhouette situated on the lamp standards is to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War One.
They have been funded separately by local donations to both Bramley War Memorial and Pudsey Cenotaph.
Our Tommy is now in place on Upper Town Street, Bramley opposite the War Memorial. Thanks to both donors and Leeds Lights. #lestweforget pic.twitter.com/w6btjU5Rns

The Tommy silhouettes are of limited numbers and are designed and fitted by Leeds City Council.
We think they’re a moving and poignant reminder of the men and women who gave their lives so many years ago …
