VIDEO: Giant puppets Little Amal and Storm meet for parade through Glasgow

Hundreds have lined the streets in Glasgow to catch a glimpse of two giant puppets on the march near the Cop26 site.

Little Amal, a 3.5 metre tall depiction of a young Syrian refugee, was met by schoolchildren from the local area and beyond as she walked from the city centre towards Govan.

She then met with the 10 metre tall Storm, which has been brought to the city to highlight the impact of the climate crisis on our oceans.

The pair interacted at the old Graving Docks, where the ‘NO NEW WORLDS‘ art installation looks out towards the Cop26 summit site at the SEC.

The puppets then paraded through Govan, with dance and music performances along the way.

Little Amal has travelled thousands of miles from Turkey to the UK.

With Amal meaning ‘hope’ in Arabic, she represents the world’s millions of displaced children.

Along her journey across Europe, which began in July, she’s met the Pope and also appeared at Cop26.

Storm, meanwhile, is a goddess of the sea created out of recycled and natural materials.

The giant puppet, whose appearances are accompanied by a full soundtrack, is a familiar sight across Scotland having been a part of the Year of Coasts and Waters.
