A Collier Row woman has crocheted a letterbox topper to bring community cheer.
Kay Wilcock, 62, came up with the idea after seeing a similar topper in Havering Village, and decided to make her own.
The grandma-of-four had only recently taken up crocheting, and said she completed the piece in a week with her husband and son's encouragement.
Kay told this paper: "It's really made me happy that people like it, as I'm a total beginner, but I'm glad people like it.
"I've seen similar ones on a Facebook group - Random Acts of Crochet Kindness - and it's all about making people happy."
