A worker prepares the Millenni-Mum and toddler statue which is being constructed at Bernie Spain Gardens by the Oxo Tower on London's South Bank. The 10 metre statue is covered with flowers made by thousands of primary school children. * The flowers were made using plastic which otherwise would have been thrown away, and forms one of the centrepieces of the New Year's Eve celebrations. Each bloom carries a Millennium wish. The idea of the Millenni-Mum came from Spain, where huge statues of the Virgin Mary, strewn with flowers are carried through the streets during religious festivals.
