CELEBRITY friends and fans of Monty Python have helped the fundraising appeal for a statue in Colwyn Bay reach the halfway mark.

After initial appeals from fans including Steve Coogan, Taskmaster's Alex Horne, Jo Brand and Emma Thompson, former Formula One world champion Damon Hill has joined the campaign, which can be found here.....https://www.gofundme.com/f/terryjonesstatue

Also on-board are David Bowie's son Duncan Jones, the cast of Armando Ianucci's West end production of Dr Strangelove and Abergele's Peter Bennett-Jones - the man who produced classics like Mr Bean and the Vicar of Dibley, as the total has broken the £59,000 barrier.

Sculptor Nick Elphick from Llandudno has been chosen to immortalise Jones once the funding is in place and said he feels the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
