Never seen anything like this before so I'm looking forward to watching it in Liverpool.
On Sunday both giants leave Liverpool Albert Dock at 12.45 and head down the River Mersey to finish at 2pm - should make great photos.

Took my grand-daughter yesterday, after school. We had a great spec on the Strand. The highlight of the parade was when the Giant Little Girl's giant dog cocked his leg against the traffic lights and peed. All the kids went into hysterics. If anyone does go to see this fantastic event please take note of the amazing work of the puppeteers' skills. Just hope that the weather holds up over the weekend.

well just got back today myself from going with the misses and kids , been a great day but now very tired as been there all day hahha...

kids loved it and if honest was very impressed myself ,great free spectacle and as said earlier puppeteers were excellent too ..

kudos to liverpool council for a great event well organized as was soooooo busy , so if you plan on going tomorrow get the relevant maps and get there early for a good spot !!!!

and lol @ whoever it was said they could see the strings hahahah

its certainly a spectacle watching a 50ft diver in full gear walking down renshaw street thats for sure ....

if you havnt been and have kids take them you and the kids wont be disapointed thats for sure .

and loved the little girls dance when she met her uncle at kings parade
