Installed in the Hintze Hall, Natural History Museum, unveiled July 2017. The skeleton (25.2m long) replaced Dippy the Diplodocus, a plaster of paris cast (unveiled 1907) that had been in place from 1979 to January 2017.

The skeleton now on display in Hintze Hall is from a whale that became stranded in 1891 in Wexford Harbour, Ireland, 10 years after the Museum opened in South Kensington. It was bought by the Museum and first displayed in the Mammal Hall in 1934, where it was suspended above a life-size model of a blue whale, though it was not in full view

Dippy The Diplodocus, The Natural History Museum 2016 by Dave J

Dippy is probably the most famous specimen in the Natural History Museum. She is a 105-foot (32 m) long replica Diplodocus skeleton, situated within the central hall since 1905! In 2017 she will be taken apart and go on a tour of the UK...

My dippy dog (one of them!) managed to run into something, and shatter her rear tooth... so she's on antibiotics now until Thursday, when they operate to remove the tooth. Poor thing.

“Flowers in your hair? Do me a favour, the only flowers anyone saw in Aston were the ones you threw in the hole after you croaked it at the age of 53 'cos you'd worked yourself to death” —Ozzy Osbourne ☠️ by Dunk 🐝

According to Osbourne, Black Sabbath were a visceral reaction to the "hippy-dippy" songs like San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair) that saturated the airwaves after 1967's Summer Of Love.

"Flowers in your hair? Do me a favour," he seethed in his 2010 autobiography.

"The only flowers anyone saw in Aston were the ones you threw in the hole after you when you croaked it at the age of 53 'cos you'd worked yourself to death."

Dippy the dinosaur by Godless Graham

Soon to be replaced by a whale. Why a whale? Because it units humanity apparently (though if you saw the length of the queue to see more dinosaurs, you might think it had more to do with increased floor area for corporate functions).
