Brave Daniel inspires magical Frozen castle

The father-of-five has unveiled his own version of Elsa and Anna's castle from hit film Frozen, which is delighting children who pass by.

The castle, which stands 25ft tall and towers above the guttering of Mr Bibb's house in Wentworth Road, Bushbury, was inspired by the bravery of his 11-year-old neighbour Daniel Evans.

The youngster is currently receiving treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital after undergoing a heart transplant.

Mr Bibb spent more than £300 creating the giant castle and display, which features around 4,000 LED lights, took two weeks to set up and costs £7 a night to run.

He spent a further four days building the castle and a 5ft stage, using a mixture of perspex and plywood. But Mr Bibb said his efforts have been worthwhile, with donations flooding in from generous passers by.

"I always decorate the house and this year a friend said I should do something a bit different and possibly for charity," said the 42-year-old.

"I heard about Daniel and what his parents Simon and Rachael were going though so I wanted to do something to help them and the hospital. Seeing that all the kids are talking about it I decided to make it a Frozen-themed castle.

"I started putting the lights up in November, before any neighbours had, and just got to work. I ended up having to build the castle in the front garden because it was too big for the garage. It was a lot of work, but it was definitely worth it.

"There are so many lights and I had to drill a hole in the castle for each one."

The lights have become an attraction in the Northwood Park area of Bushbury, with people making trips from other areas of the city to see the creation for themselves.

Mr Bibb added: "The reaction has been fantastic, we have a sign out the front asking for donations and we have already raised over £250 in less than a week. I don't think my two youngest children have ever been so popular in school. They've got a Frozen castle in their garden."
