A shop front has been decorated fit for the jubilee with help from the town's schoolchildren.

Children from Lowes Wong and Holy Trinity infants' schools took part, creating the artwork for the window.

Pinders also reached out via facebook to see if any older children wanted to take part.

The display features brightly coloured, hand painted portraits of Queen Elizabeth, surrounded by flags.
