Jelly baby works a treat for London

A family of giant jelly baby sculptures will take pride of place next to one of the capital’s most famous landmarks.

The resin sculptures, including one that is more than 10 feet high, will be placed at Marble Arch in central London.

They are the work of Italian artist Mauro Perucchetti and are going on show as part of Westminster Council’s City of Sculpture.

Deputy leader Councillor Robert Davies said: “Marble Arch was for too long a forgotten landmark, but now stands proud as a gateway to the West End and is a destination in its own right. The Jelly Baby Family will only add to its appeal and will no doubt bring a wry smile to visitors.”
