The Whole World In His Hands

There's a small competition going on at the moment on the one of the Nottingham pages of Flickr. It is to find shots taken on Clumber Street and give some background to it, and if the picture has been manipulated at all. I've walked up and down the street a few times now, but without any real success. Until today, when I came across this strange character. I've no idea what they were promoting, but lots of people (especially children) were queuing up to have their photo taken with him.
