Knitted Ukrainian flags adorn a pillar box on Earlsdon Street, Coventry, evidently placed there in solidarity with the people of Ukraine resisting Russian invasion in March 2022. The previous year the same pillar box was paying homage to Strictly Come Dancing Image These are examples of 'yarnstorming' or 'yarn bombing'.
