A MYSTERIOUS individual dressed up as a dinosaur and braved the cold to cheer people up in Rodbourne.

A mum of two daughters snapped a picture of the T-Rex as it walked along Drew Street on Saturday.

Claire Andrews told the Adver: “My fiancé called me to the window and my two girls were giggling with excitement as they told me “come check the dinosaur”. It definitely gave us a little giggle as we watched it walk up and down the streets of Rodbourne, from our window on a very cold day in lockdown.

“The dinosaur was first spotted on Drew Street, then headed towards Mannington Recreaction Ground down Morris Street and then back up sometime later on. They waved at passers-by.”

Claire posted the picture on the Residents of Rodbourne in Swindon Facebook page where it received over 150 reactions.

Many commented on the post saying how much they loved it and that it had cheered them up. It’s not yet known who the person in the suit is.
