Bonfire builders create pallet art for NHS heroes

The bonfire builders of Corcrain, Portadown have used pallets to make an impressive art installation honouring the NHS.

With the normal July bonfire cancelled due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, they put their building skills to use in the last week and have now completed the impressive structure.

They have asked that no further wood should to be dumped and for no socialising at the site.

A spokesperson for the Loyalist Corcrain Redmanville Bonfire, said: "This is our respect to the NHS.

"The bonfire is not happening this year due to the ongoing pandemic so we built this instead.

"For those who say they just throw it up, there is nothing to building a bonfire, it's just throwing wood - well we say, come build this.

"No dumping, no drinking, no gathering. It won’t be burnt. Maintain social distancing at all times.

"Thank you NHS and all key workers."
