A man has used more than 4,000 pieces of Lego to build a model of a city's centenary logo.
Neil Walker used the plastic bricks to create a large-scale model of Stoke-on-Trent's official centenary logo, which commemorates the city's 100th anniversary this year.
The construction, which took 77 hours of work and used 4,016 pieces of Lego, is on display at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery until the end of July.
Lego enthusiast Mr Walker created the plastic artwork after he issued a call-out in April for people to donate spare Lego bricks.

The logo contains references to Stoke-on-Trent's rich pottery industry and includes other well-known symbols of the city, which include a Spitfire, a bottle oven and the Burslem Angel, which is a gilded copper angel that stands on top of the old town hall.
Councillor Steve Watkins, deputy lord mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, said the display was a "wonderful gesture" and a reminder of how Lego could "bring joy to all ages".
"I hope this display inspires young visitors to build their own ideas and reminds grown-ups that you're never too old to play," he added.
Mr Walker, who is known as StokieLego on social media, added that he was "absolutely blown away" by the support.
"I needed a lot of Lego to bring this to life, and the community came through," he added.
"The final design is mostly flat, but I've added some raised elements to give it depth. The kiln and Spitfire literally stand out, just like they do in our city's story."
