Artist Al Greenall takes delivery of one of the 100 model pigs that are going to be placed on the streets of Bath for six months as part of a public art scheme. The life-size fiberglass pigs, which will be painted by artists including Peter Blake and will be sponsored by local businesses, are part of the King Bladud's Pigs in Bath project to raise money for charity and to commemorate the city's founding father who, according to legend, discovered its healing springs with his herd of pigs around 3,000 years ago.
