The Uncle Giant Arrives at St Georges Hall

Having seen Xolo and the Little Girl Giant, Miss Megs and I went up to St Georges Hall to wait for the Giant Uncle. The square was already crowded when we got there, but by waiting outside Limestreet Station and making a run for it when the road was closed, we managed to get a spot up against the barrier. As with the Little Girl Giant, we heard the music first, and then the shouts from the crowd at the far end of the square, before the breath taking sight of the 50 foot Giant appering from behind the Empire Theatre.

The Uncle came right down the road to where we were standing

It was amazing watching the Lilliputians controlling the Uncle Giant, two at a time, grabbing a rope and flying through the air to lift one of the heavy boots.

In the centre of the square, the Uncle Giant stopped,

and the Lilliputians gently sat him down on his container.

Once seated the Lilliputians climbed over the Uncle Giant to remove his helmet.

 

 Helmet off, he looked around, and settled to sleep.

We had to leave him sleeping, a family party calling, but the crowd was so huge,the people pressing in so much, that it took half an hour to make the 50 yards to the station entrance.

 And all the time, we could hear him snoring....
