The most visible memorial to this is in Skyros Town itself. High up above the sea, in Brooke Square, stands the “statue of the immortal poet,” pictured here. Funding for this came from a Belgian philanthropist, and an International Committee organised its unveilling in 1931. It was intended to be an allegorical figure rather than a true likeness to Brooke. The original model is believed to have been a young man selected in Athens by its sculptor, Michael Tombros.

 WB Yeats called Brooke “the handsomest young man in England.” He died of sepsis in Greece in 1915, aged 27.
