A mechanical elephant which has been loved by school children for more than 50 years is undergoing repairs to keep it going.
Jumbo was built in 1953 for the old Guernsey zoo and given to Forest Primary School in the 1970s.
However the mechanical animal broke down last year and the school's Parent Teacher Association (PTA) has been looking for someone to fix it.
John Mallows, a local engineer, stepped up and will be fixing the elephant in time for the summer fete on 20 June.
The PTA has also received around 12 other offers, including one offer of financial sponsorship to keep Jumbo running.
Tony Penny, member of the Forest School PTA, said: "I think it is incredibly important that we try and get him repaired so that he can be enjoyed by the children for future generations.
"We would like to keep him running for as long as we can."
