Life-size nativity scene made using mannequins

A woman has restored ex-display shop mannequins to create a life-size nativity display at her local church.

Maureen Wall, 71, works on the mannequins at her home in Nottingham when they are not on display.

She said the dummies had caused a stir with neighbours and the police were even called when someone thought there were actual body parts on her kitchen worktop.

The display will be at St John the Divine church in Bulwell, Nottingham, throughout the festive period.
