A NEWLY formed knitting group has designed a Queen's Jubilee-themed postbox topper. 

The Buckley Knitters, which was set up just a month ago, to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II - which is being celebrated this year. 

Pat Coleman, a member of the group, said: "It took us about four separate get togethers to design it. 

"Hppefully it adds a bit of something to the town centre.

"And we're hoping it's the first of many - we're looking to design a themed one for each time of the year, and to mark special occasions."

The Leader:

The group, based at the Refurbs cafe in Buckley town centre, is looking for more people to join.

"Even if people want to just come in for a cup of tea, they're very welcome," Pat said. 

"Our next meeting is on Tuesday, May 17 at 10am - it would be brilliant to see some new faces there."

People were quick to praise the ladies' work after a photo of it was shared on the Buckley Residents Group on Facebook. 

It received several hundred likes over 170 comments. 

One person said: "That’s simply amazing - well done."

Another added: "Wow, that's absolutely incredible. You are so talented."
