Most people associate puppet shows with the seaside - but landlocked Leicester got a puppet show with a difference today.

Romanian entertainer Nicolae Ciubotaru, aged 37, was in town to display his skills near the Clock Tower.

His Michael Jackson and Bob Marley puppets wowed the crowds, bringing in a few quid for the intrepid traveller.

Nicolae has been taking his act nationwide for 15 years, performing with puppets up and down the country.

He's not the first unusual act to grace Leicester's streets, with a dancing granny making waves in recent weeks.
