The previous video records the welcoming ceremony for the installation of Dippy the Diplodocus skeleton from the Natural History Museum in Norwich Cathedral

Dippy is one of the most famous dinosaurs in the world. Since 1979, tens of millions of people have seen him every year on visiting Britain's foremost natural history museum: the full-size skeleton stood in the museum's hall until 2017, when he was replaced by a mammoth and a blue whale.

Dippy has now arrived in Norwich with an extensive educational programme, including lectures on the history of the earth, ecology, palaeontology and myths, as well as other entertaining pursuits, workshops and activities.

The next video shows footage of the assembly of the skeleton, which could not be fitted into Norwich Castle or the city's Forum, but which the cathedral managed to accommodate.
