A FLINTSHIRE town is paying tribute to its Olympic hero in the way which has become synonymous with the community by now.
Knitted postbox and bollard toppers have become the talk of the town down the years in Flint.
From D-Day celebrations to the King's Coronation, eye-catching toppers have regularly brought the streets of Flint to life.
And this time around, with hometown hero Jade Jones competing at the ongoing Olympic Games in Paris, the community has paid tribute once more in the way it knows best.
Nathan Griffiths and his team of dedicated knitters have once again come together to give Flint residents something to cheer about.

He said: "We have decorated Flint town centre ready for Jade Jones' appearance at the Paris Olympics.
"We have a topper on the postbox on Northop Road, across the road from the Mill tavern and the postbox by Castle Heights in Flint."
All in all, the team of knitters - from all over the UK - have created those three toppers and a further 12 bollard toppers on the High Street.
Jade Jones is, of course, a hero to the Flint community.
The Taekwondo star took the gold medal at London 2012 and again in Rio in 2016.
She has been selected in a four-person Great Britain taekwondo team for the Paris Games which is currently ongoing.
