Thousands have been calling in to a church St John's cathedral in Den Bosch's hotline, after the church commissioned a strange sculpture - a young winged woman, talking on a mobile phone.

It is not what you would expect perched up high on a 13th century Dutch cathedral, but the sculpture has attracted worldwide attention and calls, from as far as China and Latin America.
