A pair of sisters are spending hours every day sewing personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical staff after their great uncle died of Covid-19.
Lucy and Libby Garmston have been hard at work at their home Wednesbury in the West Midlands during the lockdown.
Each day they sit round the table and start stitching masks to keep nurses and doctors safe, as well as love hearts to show their appreciation for NHS workers.
The eight and 13-year-olds' impressive level of commitment to their work comes after their great-uncle John lost his brief battle with the coronavirus.

Lee Garston, the girls' dad, told Mirror Online: "Uncle John had coronavirus. He had problems with his bowels and needed to have surgery.
"He recovered from the op and they moved him out of ICU and stuck him on a ward.
"Someone their had Covid-19. John's immune system was already low."
John died of the disease at Walsall Manor hospital on March 23 - his mum's birthday.
After they got over the shock of their great-uncle's death, Lucy and Libby decided to do something proactive.
"They had seen that there are people struggling to get their PPE," explained Lee.
"Before the lockdown I had gone to pick up the sewing machine from the girls' nan's house.
"The girls then set about making some masks."
Since they began last Sunday Lucy and Libby have made 30 masks and 30 love hearts.
Louise, their mum, said: "I think it's a brilliant idea that the girl's came up with to help the NHS.
"Libby, being only eight-years-old, to come up with the idea for the hearts, and Lucy to get her sewing machine out at 13-years-old.
"As a family we're so proud of them."
