Monty Python-s Dead Parrot arrives in London - on a giant scale

Monty Python's dead parrot has made a new appearance in London - as a giant fibreglass model. The bird at the centre of the famous Monty Python 'Dead Parrot' sketch has been carefully recreated, as a celebration of the screening of the final Monty Python live show on comedy channel Gold.

The parrot will soon be taken to the O2 arena, where the live shows are taking place. Here, fans will be able to take photos of the model and upload them to Twitter with the hashtag #montypythonlive.
General manager of Gold Steve North said: "We believe that our giant dead parrot provides a fitting tribute to a sketch that is so loved by audiences throughout the world. We hope that fans will join us for the final Monty Python performance this Sunday to see Britain's greatest ever comedy group bow out in style."
