Liverpool's Sea Odyssey - day 3

The final day of Liverpool's spectacular giant puppet show

  1. Today's show began at King's Dock, the day after Little Girl Giant and Uncle were reunited. Little Girl Giant received her letter from Uncle, and Artistic director Jean-Luc Courcoult read aloud her father's words, which assured Little Girl Giant he was at peace.
  2. Little Girl Giant responded by hitting the dancefloor.
  3. The puppets then paraded along the waterfront for one last time.
  4. On The Strand a pair of giant cymbals crashed together and a cannon blasted letters and postcards into the crowd.
  5. Passing the stripy White Star Line Building of Titanic's owners, the puppets were finally hoisted onto their boat - the James Jackson Grundy - and shipped off down the Mersey in a cloud of billowing smoke.
