Classic car plastered with messages of support for NHS

Across the country, people have been paying tribute to the National Health Service as medical staff work day and night in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic.

We have become accustomed to weekly applause for doctors and nurses at 8pm on Thursday as well as applause for care workers.

If you walk down a residential street you will see painted rainbows hanging on people's windows as a tribute to the NHS, and others have been fundraising for NHS Charities.

But in Hoylake, Wirral, they have taken a different approach to showing their appreciation to medical staff.

Photos show that a classic white Volkswagen Beetle has been converted into an artistic tribute to the NHS.

The car has a rainbow placed over its windscreen and its body is decorated with messages of support penned by members of the public.

The car, which was parked on Birkenhead Road, is covered with hearts containing messages of thanks.

A sign placed in the window of the car reads: "Please take a magnetic heart to put your message on to show your support for our NHS then stick on our Beetle."On Saturday afternoon, the car already had dozens of messages stuck to its body paying tribute to the NHS as it battles the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
