HAVE you ever wondered what it's like to be a Giant?
Salisbury's Christopher III was back in the market square today, Tuesday, August 8, and I was lucky enough to have a go at operating him.
Now, not many people can say they've survived being inside a giant, and fortunately, I wasn't digested by him.

Christopher III is the third Giant of his kind to grace the streets of Salisbury.
He was 'born' in 1994, taking over from Christopher II.
Readers who wish to find out more about big Christopher might be interested in Salisbury History Festival.
It will be back on Wednesday, August 23, with Cllr Paul Sample set to give a talk about the history of Christopher.
The talk, entitled 'The Salisbury Giant - A Concise History', will take place at 2:30pm at Salisbury Library
