ANNUAL GENERAL REPORT
The Peoples Pyramid Schedule of Works Annual General Report 2025
On the Birkenhead Day of the Dead, 23rd November 2025, 28 Bricks of Mu containing the cremated remains of our dead were laid to live for perpetuity in The Peoples Pyramid. We thank their Brick Bearers & Kin for bringing them, standing by The Peoples Pyramid and doing their death work.
The Peoples Pyramid now stands with 120 bricks laid in it: being built on a new steel platform and extended foundation stone so we can keep konstructing for a couple more years whilst we secure a permanent site for it.
Considering it was only 3 years ago we were laying bricks off the tail lift of a Luton van on a muddy piece of wasteland in Toxteth, this year’s event was as equally epic as it was joyous and meaningful. We now set our sights on 23/11/26 but first must acknowledge those that brought this year to life.
Acknowledgements
We thank all of those involved who put so much in to make it happen. We can’t name everyone but you all know who you are.
We thank TowerBlock1 for the amazing visuals and sound, we thank Daisy Eris and her Bricklaying Krew for their heavy work made so light. Thank you to Claire Phillips-Calender and Rupert Calender for their necessary words and being voices of The Peoples Pyramid. Thanks to Lisa Lovebucket for looking after the Brick Bearers & Kin. Thank you Sports Banger & Krew for the Afterlife Party with Jeannie & the White Boys and Optimo. Thank you to the whole team at Future Yard and CSP Audio Visual for the production and sound engineering by Fred DeFaye. Thanks Gimpo and TOR for the prep and new pyramid base, the Portslade Foghorn Co (aka Plunge Creations) for the foghorn, Nadia Luijten for stage management, KT for movement, and Mersey Ferries, The Adelphi Hotel and Birkenhead Park for the sites. Thanks to all those who made the Spektacle a real Spektacle including Liverpool Arts Lab, the KLFRS and the Nu Nu 400 who came and contributed and those who took photos and film to broadcast our work to the world. Thanks also to Tommy Calderbank for not dying the night before and those that kept him alive. We know it’s a ‘Day of Death’ but he really shouldn’t take his work so seriously! And finally we thank all the ticket holders and everyone who has bought merch from L-13 and Merchants of Death Merchandise to support the cause. It all really helps.
The Peoples Pyramid Will Be Built.

THE PEOPLES PYRAMID Building Site Signs
These are the original building site signs made and used at Calling The Ancestors on the Birkenhead Day of the Dead 2025 where 28 Bricks of Mu were laid to live for perpetuity in The Peoples Pyramid.
The reflective signs have been a mainstay of The Peoples Pyramid bricklaying ceremony since Jimmy Cauty designed the first ones in 2021. This year the signs were mounted on poles and karried as part of The Spektacle from Seacombe ferry terminal to Birkenhead Park (aka The Peoples Garden) where The Peoples Pyramid is being built.
Each pair of signs will come with a certificate of authenticity stating they are the used signs from this years event. They will also be dated 23/11/25, stamped with K2 Plant Hire Ltd stamp on the back and signed by L-13 Chief Engineer Steve Lowe.
All are genuine aluminium reflective road signs with hanging bars on the back. They can be simply slid onto screws to hang on the wall of any pyramid builder’s site office, plant hire gallery or light industrial workshop.
NB: As they were all used in the event some signs may come with dents, scratches and abrasions. These are not faults but a testament to genuine use on a pyramid building site.
Poles not included.
