A VISION became reality in a Northumberland seaside village last week as an iconic sculpture, set to transform the area's horizon, finally arrived in its new home.

Onlookers gathered in their hundreds along the seafront to watch the moment the pair were finally positioned looking out into Newbiggin's bay.
