A jewellery designer has donated more than 100 of her handmade items to hospital staff working on the front line in the fight against Covid-19.
Tali Iserles, who runs a company from her home in Ely, Cambridgeshire, said: "I don’t have a sewing machine or a 3D printer and I don’t have first aid skills, but like so many other people I’ve been watching events unfold, feeling helpless and depressed."
So, instead of sewing scrubs or printing safety visors, she donated bracelets, bangles, earrings, necklaces and rings to be shared out among staff working on Covid wards at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Ms Iserles said she hoped her gifts would "bring a smile to their faces", adding staff at the hospital had saved her life when she was pregnant with her first child, and she "cannot imagine what they're having to deal with now".

A couple have painted a rainbow on the side of a village house in tribute to their children who work as NHS nurses.
Former art teacher Ron Nix and his wife Jo painted it on their whitewashed home in Milton, near Cambridge, on Tuesday.
"It took most of the day, but luckily I had all the acrylic colours," said Mr Nix.
He taught art at Bottisham Village College for 32 years before retiring, and said the rainbow - which has attracted a lot of attention on social media and hoots and waves from passing drivers - was done as a tribute to those working in the NHS.

Mr Nix said the rainbow would stay on the house "as long as we are all going through this".
