King's Coronation 2023: Yarn bombers strike in Oundle to get town in Coronation spirit

Yarn bombers in Oundle have transformed the town’s market place with knitted creations to celebrate the Coronation.

A dedicated team of 25 volunteers have been working since January to create a series of stunning creations to help the town celebrate.

Postboxes, benches and bollards have all been taken over by knitted creations featuring crowns, a horse-drawn carriage and King Charles himself.

The knitters have been on the go since 2015 and have sprung into action for a series of events since then, most recently the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Mel Lee of the Oundle Yarn Bombers said: “The work that has gone into this really is amazing, so much care and thought has gone into it.

"We have a team to 25 that has been working on this since the start of the year. When we had a bit more time to prepare- for the jubilee- it was closer to 70 people.

"We all love what we do and how it has turned out.”
