PICK OF THE PIX: POP POET

Here's another favourite photo from my flicker photostream...

Today, Martin Jenning's wonderful statue of Sir John Betjeman on London's St Pancras Station, the masterpiece of Victorian architecture which the former Poet Laureate helped save from dereliction...


Inscribed around the base of the statue are words from Betjeman's poem 'Cornish Cliffs':

And in the shadowless unclouded glare
Deep blue above us fades to whiteness where
A misty sea-line meets the wash of air.
