A vibrant new mural has brought a splash of colour and nostalgia to Cleethorpes. London-based artist LUAP, also known as Paul Robinson, has unveiled a giant pink bear lounging on a deck chair, enjoying an ice cream, on Market Street. This whimsical artwork is more than just eye-catching; it's a heartfelt nod to cherished childhood memories and a reminder to savour life's fleeting moments.BBC

Originally from nearby Grimsby, LUAP drew inspiration from his own experiences, using the pink bear motif as a therapeutic symbol during challenging times. The mural, commissioned by a local community project, aims to uplift and connect with residents and visitors alike. As LUAP explains, the melting ice cream represents the passage of time, encouraging viewers to "enjoy those special moments."BBC
