Bewdley rainbow door spreads joy to thousands
A family in Bewdley has painted their front door in rainbow colours to spread joy during coronavirus.
The Hemmings family's colourful creation has gone viral, receiving more than 50,000 likes on Facebook.
Sara Hemmings, who runs children's sensory activity company Glow Bambino from her home in Bewdley, came up with the idea to say thank you to all of the key workers.
She said: "As soon as we got the paints last week my husband Giles went out and started painting the door, which is also the door to the Glow Bambino studio.
"He originally wanted to paint it at night so that the neigbours woke up to a rainbow, but unfortunately it started raining! So he had to finish it off in the morning.
"There has been an amazing response, it's been unbelievable, the neighbours have been sending us messages and some people have even been honking their horns as they drive past.
"I posted the picture into our local Facebook group This is Bewdley, and thousands of people have gotten in touch to say it has brightened their day and made them smile."
Sara and Giles live at their home with their four children Fearn, Autumn, Scarlet and Bracken.
The rainbow door also hopes to lift the spirits of the residents of Bewdley, which was badly hit by flooding in February.
Sara added: "We were hit badly by flooding, some people's homes are still being repaired and cleared up and just as we start to get back to normal coronavirus hit us.
"We wanted to do this to say thank you to all of the key workers and also lift the spirits of the people in Bewdley."
