Rainbow art placed in windows across the Midlands

Pictures of rainbows have started appearing in windows across the Midlands after schools shut on Friday in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The #UKkidswindows campaign is encouraging children to put up paintings to spread positivity and hope.

Organisers say this is a simple way to send the message "all will be okay" to friends and neighbours during such unprecedented times.
