Goodnight, sweet prince 💔
A statue honouring Glasgow Commonwealth Games mascot Clyde has bid a final farewell to Queen's Park after several great years.
The wooden statue dedicated to the city's greatest servant has been toppled after being deemed unsafe. Locals were shocked to see Clyde lying on his back in the south side park on Thursday morning having been removed from his plinth and stripped of his little wooden legs.Although he went down smiling, the city is mourning what was once a much-loved familiar face for visitors and locals alike.His collapse didn't come as a surprise to some park regulars who noticed that he was "not in great condition" and "falling to bits".
We reported in 2022 how the right arm belonging to Clyde was destroyed by thugs and had to be restored. The statue was erected following the Commonwealth Games 2014 as the event's official mascot. Clyde was designed by Beth Gilmour from Cumbernauld, who won a competition run by Glasgow 2014.Goodnight, sweet prince.
