So this was a fun one. For those not in the know, the Canterbury Crusaders are our regional rugby team and their mascots are (obviously) a team of Crusader Knights. I'm not even a sports fan by any means, but it's stirring stuff to see the knights and their horses gallop into the stadium every pre-match to the sounds of Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis. Seriously, they are best mascots ever.
So it was almost inevitable that one of the giraffes would end up in Crusader regalia. Called Crusade by Martyn Giles, it was situated in the slowly-but-surely-getting-rebuilt Arts Centre, one of my favourite places in the city.
