Residents of this pretty village have got their Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations well and truly stitched up - with yards and yards of knitted flags, bunting, bollard covers, Queens and corgis. The village centre of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire is full of the colours of red, white and blue ahead of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations next week.
And it has been mostly down to 34 women in the community who first took up knitting through lockdown to pass the time. They've staged a mighty collective effort to create a stunning array of knitted Jubilee themed garments that have been spread across the village.
That includes colourful woolly bollard covers, red, white and blue lamp post wraps and a brilliant Queen and royal guards structure on a traditional post box next to the church. There's even a cute corgi dog sitting with the Queen figure which is getting plenty of attention from little ones (and bigger ones too), created by an anonymous resident known only as "Holmes Chapel's yarn bombing Banksy".
