If you're eagle eyed, you will have spotted that Dunmow's postal boxes have had another makeover.

Knitters Kathleen Shannon and Jackie Monk have created Olympic-themed knitting including Tom Daley, who with Matty Lee won gold in the men’s synchronised 10m platform dive this week.

Kathleen said there will be further toppers appearing over the week.

"We have re-used the base for the Olympic Rings topper with Jackie crocheting the running track and field area to sit on top. She’s also responsible for the rings and torch.

"The knitted people normally take me anything between four to eight hours depending on the detail that is required, sometimes a little more.

"The Tom Daley topper is all a completely new one with Jackie’s husband helping us out with the construction of the diving board.

"We can spend 50 to 100 hours designing, knitting and putting it all together."
