A POPULAR sculpture in Reading has been severely damaged by Storm Eunice.
The Cartwheeling Boys statue on the former Reading Civic Centre crumbled as a result of high winds.
Sculpted in 1981 by Brian Slack, the work was erected to mark the 30th anniversary of the link between Reading and Düsseldorf established in 1947.
Reading Borough Council has recovered the statue and will assess how it can be restored.
