The creator of the Man Engine has thanked everyone who played a part in bringing the largest puppet ever built in the UK to the town as part of its county tour.

Thousands poured into South East Cornwall in July to see the Man Engine, which was the idea of Will Coleman, visit the Gunnislake area, Callington, Liskeard and Minions.

The iconic giant puppet took the central role in the Tinth celebration marking the 10th anniversary of Cornwall’s mining landscapes becoming World Heritage Sites.

In emails, Will has thanked everybody involved.
