A Wirral man has got creative with the coronavirus lockdown message by having it painted on his own wall.

Liam O'Neill asked artist friend Vicki Fogerty to produce two rainbows in archways on the side of his Tranmere home, with the words 'Stay home' and 'Stay safe' written in the middle of them.

Mr O'Neill said: "I guess in these times of darkness I wanted to brighten things up. Vicki has done various works for community in the past, including a commission for the poppy appeal. Early reaction to it has been very good.

"I also installed a 50w led colour changing light as well to brighten up my street."

Mr O'Neill runs his own electrical company but has had to furlough himself and an employee and is now a following government advice to stay at home.

He has however offered to do emergency work for free for NHS workers.
