THESE amazing drone photos show Llandudno's famous Ferris wheel being pieced back together.
The 69-foot tall structure arrived at Llandudno Pier over the weekend. It made its annual trip to Sheffield ahead of Christmas 2023.
It is now in the process of being reassembled and the ride is on schedule to open towards the end of next week.
Patrick Glover, SEO reporter for Newsquest, took these stunning images on Monday, March 11 of the now famous structure being built back up.
He also shared other photographs of the structure being reassembled and two videos.
Paul Williams, general manager at Llandudno Pier, said: "We are excited to welcome back the Pier View Wheel for another season.
"The wheel has become a local landmark with its magnificent presence along the North Wales coast line, especially when illuminated in the evenings.
