Co Antrim woman makes glass sculpture from beach glass for future King

A woman who creates jewellery and sculptures from broken glass washed up on beaches in Co Antrim has told of her excitement after one of her pieces was presented to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Colleen Douglas, a 54-year-old mother-of-two from Carrickfergus, regularly scans the beaches around the town's historic Norman castle, Scotch Quarter and Boneybefore for glass fragments.

Earlier this year, William and Kate were presented with the artwork, The Tree Of Life, during a visit to the town. The tree featured green glass alongside three red apples to symbolise the royal couple's three children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
