Proud moment: Sculptor Graham Ibbeson and Dickie Bird show Prince Charles the statue, created by Graham.

Friday 3rd February 2012

Some of the lads who can get where Ferret can’t, met Graham Ibbeson when they voted his plinth design as first recommendation on the list which was supposed to be put to the Chronicle for a vote.

The council went back on its promise and dropped the idea. Then they blocked Graham’s Coal Queen for the Morrison’s forcecourt.

Last week, thanks to the lads, Graham met Prince Charles at Dickie Bird’s statue although his name was not on the invitation list. He is not in the Chronicle’s supplement, could you print a photograph so we can gloat?
