The whole contraption is a work of art. To manouver her around the town she had  a team of people animating her arms and legs from a battery driven rig.

She came to Northampton to have a specially made pair of size 72 boots put onto her and she is picking up other items of clothes as she continues on her journey. There was a really good turn out with the streets lined by people and cafe owners coming out with cup cakes and coffee for the operators.
