Gromit fans meet the 81st statue
Crowds have again been gathering in Bristol to see the Gromit Unleashed exhibition. Queues for The Greatest Dog Show on Earth were this morning stretching back from its location in the old Habitat store on Queen's Road in Clifton to the junction with Tyndalls Park Road.
And for the hardy people in the queue, an extra special treat. A new 81st Gromit has been added to the 80 others at the exhibition.
Three year old Arthur from Redfield in Bristol queued for 3 hours before being photographed beside the 81st Gromit. A competition has been launched to name it.
