Crowds gather for cat statue unveiling

A cat that became a "local celebrity" has had a statue unveiled in its honour.

More than £4,000 was raised to place a bronze statue on Saltburn's pier in Redcar and Cleveland, where Hendrix was a familiar face - often letting himself into cafes and the local arcades.

The cat, who previously lived in Whitley Bay and was known to ride Metro trains on his own accord, was much-loved by locals and tourists alike.

Owner Nathan Bye thanked the people of Saltburn, Hendrix's international social media fanbase and Redcar Council who had supported the campaign to memorialise him.
