The dragon sculpture ready to be photographed.

Little Diana Doran-Webb gazes up at an almighty dragon perched atop a tree trunk - the largest driftwood sculpture in the world.

The spectacular work is the creation of the three-year-old's artist father James, who specialises in making incredible sculptures of animals from bits of wood that wash up on the beach.

The fantastical dragon is his best work to date - and at 18ft tall and weighing four tonnes it's also his biggest.

The breathtaking beast took a painstaking twelve months to assemble from 800 pieces of driftwood of varying sizes built around a stainless steel skeleton.
