00:00From royalty to politicians, sports stars to entertainers, Liverpool has a vast number of public art sculptures, many of which we walk past so often we stop noticing them.
00:11There's new editions of public art added to the city constantly, some come on a temporary basis, such as the Taylor Town Trail which has been on display to welcome Taylor Swift and her fans to town.
00:22To everyone, art means something different, from architectural mastery to murals. We have been on the streets of Liverpool to ask what your favourite piece of public art is.
00:33Well, there's the lovely sculpture in the Kingfisher Park right near Tesco in Liverpool and it's of a flying Kingfisher. It's just like an arch and the Kingfisher's on the end, it's just so lovely.
00:49I did have a bodyskull now, it was the moving bridge in the Ferris. It used to move up and down with the tide. When we were kids it was magical, it really was a bodyskull. That was my favourite part of the city.
01:02There's a painting in the Walker Art Gallery, it's called Faithful Until Death. It's a Roman centurion outside Pompeii when everything's coming down. It has a special meaning to me, leave it at that.
01:18Ken Dodd, the one down here. I think they should do one for Paul O'Grady, they should do one for him. He was on the telly the other day and he said it's in the pipeline, but one of them.
01:34The Liverpool Plinth, which is the north's answer to London's fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, celebrates and platforms sculptors working and living in the UK. Changing annually, Liverpool's Sculpture Prize, created and managed by Liverpool Big Company, displays a piece of artwork at Liverpool Parish Church overlooking Chapel Street.
01:52Glasgow-born Alan Dunn is the latest artist to have his work displayed on the Plinth, where it will stay for the next 12 months.
