Lady Godiva puppet starts journey from Coventry
Hundreds of people turned out to see a 6m-high puppet of Lady Godiva at the Godiva Awakes festival in Coventry.
After visiting Rugby the puppet, powered by a team of cyclists, is being taken to London.
According to legend, Godiva rode naked on horseback through Coventry in protest against high taxes. However, the puppet was clothed in a cloak made by West Midlands artists.
