Sheep reassembled for Royal Manx Show

A much-loved sheep sculpture will put in a star appearance at the Royal Manx Agricultural Show this weekend.

Creator, Darren Jackson said the 15-foot Loaghtan Ram took about a week to get back together. 

The sculpture frame has been stored in farm buildings since it was removed from Douglas Head in 2017.

It was dismantled after being blown over in a storm in 2017.

Mr Jackson said while the metal frame is the same, he's recreated the sheep's muzzle and added a lot of greenery.

The Royal Show is one of the rural highlights of the Manx calendar and takes place today and tomorrow  (13th & 14th August).
