An Edinburgh church group has knitted an incredible post box topper for the King's coronation - turning it into a local tourist attraction.
The masterpiece, created by St Giles Parish Church, sits on top of the Royal Mail post box on Marchmont Road.
The coronation to officially recognise Charles as King takes place on May 6, and is expected to be watched by millions of people worldwide.
Minister of Marchmont St Giles Parish Church, Karen Campbell, led a team of six people to design the creation, she said: "The King and Queen's pattern was a lot more complicated than we first thought so we were delighted to get to the end and it took quite a lot of doing but we got there and we are very happy it."
"We just thought it would be a bit of fun with people coming together and it has already attracted a lot of attention in Marchmont."
"Now we are just talking about what our next thing is going to be because people have enjoyed getting together, doing a bit of knitting which is slightly more unusual than normal so later on in the year we shall decided on what to do."
On the front, the knitted topper base, is a purple colour with King Charles III, a crown and Camilla, Queen Consort.
At the back of the knitted design is a golden carriage and a Tower of London, Yeomen Warder.
The golden carriage that is knitted for the sensational piece of art is to be part of King Charles III ceremony and will escort him from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace on the day.
The knitting group also designed another post box topper for easter which was about "bringing people together" and "community."
