In 2008, a giant spider came to Liverpool as part of the Capital of Culture celebrations.
The mechanical spider, La Princesse, was operated by a French theatre company, La Machine and began on the side of a building before joining crowds on the ground.
We take a look back at the incredible event, which ran from September 3 to September 7, 2008.
