Giant Gran steps out in Limerick

To misquote lunar astronaut, Neil Armstrong.... Royal de Luxe’s giant gran took another small step in her global travels yesterday, delivering a giant boost to Limerick’s City of Culture celebrations.

The biggest street theatre act in the world drew over 60,000 onto the streets as the Giant Gran commenced her three-day, 19k journey through the capital of the Mid-West.

It is expected that up to 200,000 will see the 25ft tall gran before she departs the city on Sunday by boat down the Shannon Estuary.
