Thousands of people are expected to line Liverpool's streets for the second day of a giant marionette show commemorating World War One.
An estimated 100,000 people watched three giants walk through the city on Friday
The huge figures began the Memories of August 1914 event at 10:00 BST.
The show features a grandmother, a little girl and a dog. They will visit many of the city's landmarks, including the Three Graces.
Culture Liverpool director Claire McColgan said the show and huge crowds were "creating history".
The Little Girl, Grandmother and dog Xolo began in separate locations on Friday, before meeting in Newsham Park late in the day.
The giant marionettes slept overnight in Newsham Park The Little Girl and Xolo will travel from the park to the Queensway Tunnel and onto Clarence Dock later.
The Grandmother will start and end her journey at the same locations, but will go via St George's Hall.
Royal de Luxe, the French street theatre company behind the spectacle, said the figures would cover 30 miles in total over the weekend.

A section of the event will be dedicated to the World War One Liverpool Pals battalions.
Hundreds of thousands of people saw the last Giants event in 2012, which commemorated the sinking of the Titanic.
This year's event, which runs until Sunday, will end with the three giants sailing away on the River Mersey.
BBC News Online will be following the giants through Liverpool with live text coverage, pictures and video of events. For more details, visit the BBC's dedicated Liverpool Giants page.
