Wellington woman's crafty Queen-themed postbox topper tribute
A Shropshire crafter has added her own crocheted contribution to the nation's ranks of postbox topper tributes honouring the late Queen.
Knitted postbox toppers have been appearing across the country following the news of the Queen's death.
Angela Moore of Wellington topped the postbox near the Red Lion pub on Holyhead Road on Monday, with her effort featuring the late monarch in an iconic bright hat and dress alongside one of her beloved corgis.
Angela said: "I really wanted her in a colourful dress, that's what she was known for and how I'll think of her - in a bright, colourful outfit with her dog."
Comments on social media showered Angela with gratitude, with one Facebook commenter saying the crafter was "not only kind and thoughtful to do that to share with others but also immensely talented."
But the Wellington native said she just wanted to give something back to the community she loves.
"I really wanted to give something back to the community," she said, "and couldn't think of a better way of using my skills to give back."
The topper is stuffed with shredded plastic bags, to prevent it from getting mouldy.
Angela and partner-in-craft, Darcy Lear, promise more crafty tributes are in the pipeline, as more continue to pop up around the county.
Toppers have also been spotted in Lawley, near Morrisons, and in Church Stretton.
