War memorial restored with £2.50 permanent marker after volunteers couldn't afford £5,000 repair

War memorials honouring those who served in the First World War have been rescued and restored by a community group using just £2.50 permanent markers.

The stones were given a new lease of life after Action Shack members were told they would have to fork out thousands of pounds to have the job done by professionals.

The men's shed group meets once a week within the grounds of St John’s Day Centre in Manselton, Swansea, reports WalesOnline.
