But Where’s the Ladybird?, 'Herd of Sheffield', Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

Story behind this Elephant : www.herdofsheffield.com/sculptures/wheres-lady-bird/
'Herd of Sheffield' was a trail of 58 artistic elephants throughout various parts of Sheffield. They were designed to raise money for the Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity.
The herd were auctioned off on Thursday 20th October at the Crucible Theatre, and will soon be off to their new homes.
They raised a total of £410,600 with Marjorie the biggest earner at £22,000. I'd have had to beat £11,000 to get my favourite 'Bugsy'.
'But Where’s the Ladybird?' raised £6,200.
So, where is the ladybird ? Watch this space ! I didn't find it until the farewell event.
There was also a Little Herd of over 70 smaller elephant calves, designed by local children and teachers which have now found homes at those schools.
