SCULPTOR Graham Ibbeson faced a dilemma when he was commissioned to create a statue of the saucy comic Benny Hill.
Graham, of Cockerham Lane, Barnsley was asked by the showbiz organisation The Heritage Foundation to prepare a statue and felt it should be put in Southampton where the comedian was born.
But nearby Eastleigh, where the comic worked as a milkman before he was famous, was also keen on a statue of Benny who had a hit with 'Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)'.
After much soul-searching, Graham hit on a compromise: he has agreed to a bronze statue going to Southampton and decided to give a fibreglass version to Eastleigh.
