Post box topper in memory of the Queen

The anonymous creator, who goes by the name “Yarnsy”, crocheted the piece in Broadway in honour of the Queen who passed away last week (Thursday, September 8).

The piece includes a crown beside a wreath with 96 separate flowers and leaves for each year of the Queen’s life.

Yarnsy said: “We all knew this time would come and I had always planned on doing a memorial topper for the Queen but she caught us all off guard - somehow you always think you’ll have more time.”

She also received a card from the Queen after the Jubilee-themed topper she created in June.

 “I was honoured to receive a card in the post,” she said. “It will be cherished and kept in a very safe place”.
