Rochdale Residents Unsettled by Giant Baby Puppet Installation

The 27ft-high figure, named Lilly, aims to engage schoolchildren in conversations about climate change.

The 8.5m-high puppet, Lilly, has been placed in Rochdale town centre as part of a council project.
The installation is designed to encourage schoolchildren to discuss the future of the environment.
Locals have described the figure as 'creepy' and 'unsettling,' with some comparing it to horror movie characters.
Recordings of children's conversations with Lilly will be broadcast during the Wild Wanders event in October.
The project is funded by Arts Council England and the Garfield Weston Foundation, despite some public criticism over its cost.
