A huge mural tribute to NHS staff has appeared on the side of a popular bar in Swansea.
The artwork has been created at Noah's Yard, in Uplands, and shows an NHS worker in personal protective equipment (PPE) urging the public to stay at home.
Created by owner Noah Redfern and artist Son of Ken, the art also pays tribute to the NHS staff who have lost their lives during the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Redfern explained that he wanted to create something "positive and constructive" for the community.
He said: "We change our artwork every few months and since the pandemic came about I felt that we should do something positive and constructive for the community.
"I worked with the artist Son of Ken and he did it along with myself on Sunday.
"I don't think our NHS workers are getting enough recognition so myself and Son and Ken came up with that concept together over a couple of days.
"It took nine hours to complete it."
Not only does the bold display show a frontline NHS worker wearing a mask and gloves but its message reads "Don't play games with the NHS. Stay at home".
The mural also names just some of the members of staff who have lost their lives during the fight against coronavirus, including doctor Amged El-Hawrani and nurses Areema Nasreen and Aimee O'Rourke.
"We dedicated it to the NHS staff who have lost their lives as well," Mr Redfern added.
"I feel very strongly that the NHS has been completely under-funded."

Son of Ken explained that they both wanted the artwork to represent the members of the NHS who are "putting themselves at risk of death for the wellbeing of complete strangers".
He said: "We just wanted a piece that represented the under paid and over-worked, and ill-appreciated members of the NHS - these people are regular Joe's who have to stand on the frontline, putting themselves at risk of death, for the wellbeing of complete strangers.
"This isn’t just about doctors and nurses either, these machines cannot run without the cogs that are porters, kitchen staff, cleaners, admin etc.
"Many working parts in the whole that is the mighty National Health Service."
The artwork has already generated a great deal of attention, with Swansea Bay University Health Board even calling it "a beautiful and poignant example of wall art with a message for us all".
The artist added: "Most graffiti pieces consist of lettering and characters, and being as drawing characters was always my thing, that’s what I ended up painting when it comes to doing these pieces."
