The new bronze-coloured, fibreglass effigy by a secretive sculptor appeared on one of the concrete plinths welcoming visitors to the village on Friday morning.

They are made using recycled materials including timber and plywood, fibreglass and even knitting needles.

Data travels through hair-thin fibreglass wires, often grouped in pairs and protected by different layers of plastic and copper depending on how close the cables are to the shore.

"I think if you call an album Gary, and you write a song about a fibreglass gorilla, you're out in the open, in terms of someone's going to say something like that," the singer responds.

Made of fibreglass they are covered with a tough epoxy resin, designed to withstand years of hammering by the elements.
