LEGO has created a range of Porgs - the Star Wars creatures which have captured the hearts of cinemagoers across the nation - and placed them at landmarks across London.

The toy giant created 10 of the squeaking, wide-eyed species which featured in the film Star Wars: The Last Jedi to mark its release.

To celebrate the film, LEGO brought a group of Porgs made from the iconic bricks to London.

The creatures visited landmarks in the city including the London Eye, Millennium Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral.

Excited children greeted the brick Porgs with glee with one small giving one of the little critters an Eskimo kiss.

Earlier this week, the special effects team who helped create Star Wars: The last Jedi revealed that the wide-eyed little creatures, who make their debut in the film, are actually digitally altered puffins.

The team said that there were so many of the birds on Skellig Michael Island where the movie was filmed that it was impossible not to capture them when filming.

LEGO is also offering fans the opportunity to win one of the unique brick birds over the Christmas period.
