Argus finds Percy's severed head by the A27
9:37am Wednesday 23rd May 2012 in News By Ben James
WELCOME BACK: John Varah from Same Sky with Percy's head
Missing man Percy has been found – well part of him anyway.
Eagle-eyed Argus employee Lyle Acott spotted the severed head of the stylish dandy at the side of the A27 north of Alfriston.
She said: “I saw the top hat through the long grass and thought it was a bit odd. It was only because I had read about it in The Argus that I knew it was Percy.”
The ten-foot regency gentleman went missing from underneath the arches on Madeira Drive after the Children’s Parade organised by Same Sky on May 5.
Readers have reported a number of sightings over the last 18 days but it was feared he had become a victim of the rain.
John Varah, from Same Sky, said: “We were all extremely surprised when you called up. Especially as it was just the head – it’s like something from a horror movie.
“We’ve returned the head to the artist and hope to find the rest soon.”

So readers have been reporting it's location for 18 days but you sat on the information to take credit yourselves? Bravo
The previous sightings mentioned in the story were in other locations, such as Coldean and Marine Parade.
