“If there was no rain, you’d never see a rainbow”
A festive tribute has been made in memory of the late Oldham-born comedian Bobby Ball as part of the town’s Reindeer Parade Trail this Christmas.
The sculpture - created by Oldham Theatre Workshop in partnership with Oldham Council - is a specially decorated reindeer called ‘Rain-deer’ – which now stands outside the Old Town Hall.
The 76-year-old actor starred in the building’s grand opening back in 2016 having voiced the role ‘Grandpa’ during the event’s unveiling performance “On the Shoulders of Giants”.
