Yarnbombers delight with subterranean theme
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters have unveiled their latest work "Under The Sea", delighting young and old visitors to Parliament Square.

Other displays feature a pod of Dolphins, a flock of flying fish, a shipwreck, with wreckage strewn over 6 bollards and including the figurehead, wheel, sails, anchor, treasure and skull and crossbones.

Two benches in Parliament Square have been adorned with a giant crab and octopus.

Seven trees around Parliament Square have been adorned with masses of sea and seaweed garlands, with each tree depicting different sea life - some real, some imaginary - including Sharks, Jellyfish, Turtles, Puffer fish, Cuttlefish, Moorish Idol fish, Clown fish, Basslets, Stripey fish, Surgeon fish, Butterfly fish and Rainbow fish.
