Jubilee Celebration Postbox Toppers

We've been very impressed with the amazing creativity and level of detail of the wonderful knitted and crocheted postbox toppers that have been popping up across the borough.

They have featured HM The Queen, crowns, handbags, pearls, soldiers, national flowers, jewels and cakes - and look fantastic! They have brightened up our streets and been really popular features for people to visit in person and also share on social media.

Many thanks to the very talented people who have created these gorgeous colourful artistic displays which make people smile every day!
