British spirit remains strong and rainbows symbolising hope are appearing across the nation. Along with the regular ‘Clap for Carers’ at 8pm every Thursday evening, people are turning to art to leave thank you messages – not only for the NHS but also for waste collectors, postal staff and others whose roles help to keep the country going.
With the UK in lockdown, most people will not have ventured far from home. Many have not left their homes for weeks so will be unaware of this inspirational artwork. Residents and readers have sent photos for everyone to enjoy.
Go to our Latest Editions page and in the Walsall Edition go to page 50 and the Aldridge Edition go to page 38 to see some of the pictures sent to us. We want more of your rainbow pictures, please email them to editor@pioneerpublishing.co.uk by the 5th June.
