Monty Python’s Terry Jones’s Colwyn Bay statue takes shape

A sculptor tasked with designing a bronze statue of Monty Python star Terry Jones says he feels immense pressure to come up with a fitting tribute.

The Python on the Prom campaign – backed by actors Emma Thompson, Steve Coogan and the surviving members of the comedy troupe – aims to raise £120,000 to fund the memorial in Colwyn Bay, Conwy.

Jones died from a rare form of dementia in 2020, aged 77, and his family said there had been no shortage of ideas for paying tribute to him at his birthplace.

Llandudno-based artist Nick Elphick said Monty Python played a major role in his life and he hoped to best reflect Jones’s personality in the piece.
