AN ELEVEN-foot fairy statue has been unveiled in York. The Fairy Tower on show in Clarence Gardens, Haxby Road, is the work of Graham Ibbeson who has created more than 30 public commissions – including the Eric Morecambe statue in Morecambe, the Laurel & Hardy statue in Ulverston and Fred Truman statue in Skipton. He also created the original 30 lifelike mannequins in the original experience at the Jorvik Viking Centre in Coppergate that opened in 1984.
