Super Raf Banana

Liverpool has a Super Lamb Banana. It's had one for ten years now. The much-loved sculpture (far left) moves around the city so you never know quite where you'll bump into it. But your chances of doing so increase this summer when, as part of the European Capital of Culture year, 100 replicas dolled up in the style of Mersey landmarks and icons go on display. The Liverpool Echo reports that the very ace one on the right is a homage to Liverpool FC's Rafa the Gaffer. It's all reminiscent of the excellent Berlin bears, and the Liverpool event takes place over ten weeks beginning in June.
