Horses, corgis and swans are being groomed for their starring roles in a procession to commemorate the platinum jubilee milestone of Queen Elizabeth II.
The creation and construction of the puppets is down to design company Imagineer, partnering with Coventry University students.
The parade's artistic director, Kathi Leahy, explains the puppets will form a tableau integral to the procession named 'The Queen's Favourites', reflecting what the monarch cherishes.
Besotted with corgis since her parents marked her 18th birthday with her first pup, the sovereign's passion for the stumpy, donkey-eared breed is common knowledge.
Since tradition stipulates that all swans in England are custody of the crown, a number of the 140 cast members participating will be donning swan costumes to evoke the annual, centuries-old custom of swan counting on the river Thames.
Designer Trudy Rees-Marklew is the head designer overseeing the floats and costumes.
The massive marionette of 11th century Lady Godiva, a legendary figure from popular culture, will be parading her stuff.
With comparatively small dimensions, there'll also be a representation of 'Bluebottle', a petite vessel presented to the Queen and Prince Philip on their marriage.
Imagineer's chief executive, Jane Hytch, is optimistic that the displays will strike a chord with the monarch.
