Video: Euro 2012: 100ft 'Roy the Redeemer' statue erected on white cliffs of Dover Visible from France, England's first opponents at the European Championships, the 100ft tall, eight-tonne structure is a publicity stunt by bookmakers Paddy Power. Made from 160 rectangular panels and involving 96 hours of continuous printing, the 'statue' took over a week to construct. Ken Robertson, spokesman for the bookmakers, said: "Since Christ the Redeemer was constructed in Rio de Janeiro in 1931, Brazil has gone on to become the world's leading footballing nation. We're hoping some of that success can rub off on England in time for their Euro 2012 opener against France on Monday.
