Throughout the first national Covid lockdown, children across the country created rainbow images to show support for the NHS. 

This was no different in Swindon where windows, walls and pavements across the town were decorated with bright colours and messages of thanks and hope for the future. 

Here are some of the best pictures that were sent to us all those months ago.
