The legendary Ken Dodd popped down to the penguin preview at St George’s Hall on Tuesday to meet the winner of the Echo’s people’s Penguin competition, Lee O’Brien. Doddy was amazed by his penguin doppelganger : “I’m delighted and thrilled and think it’s wonderful. The young man who designed it is such a nice fella, who is a great creative artist.

Paul O'grady's - Owl Ma Penguin Delights Visitors
 |
“It’s been a privilege to be involved in this campaign and I was thrilled to see my original design of Old Ma Penguin brought to ‘life’. Go Penguins has captured people’s imaginations and an army of penguins dotted around Liverpool has proved a huge success and raised a lot of public interest. I hope the Go Penguin auction raises loads of money for the charities and the penguins go to good homes!!” |

Footballer Graeme Le Saux, who designed the event’s Vincent Van Gogh inspired penguin as well as being a WWF ambassador gave the auction the thumbs up : “As a WWF supporter, I’m proud to have created such a memorable design for Go Penguins.
