Heart-warming messages left out for refuse collectors who worked through the Covid pandemic and national lockdowns are due to go on display at a museum exhibition.

More than 30 pictures and notes were collected and kept by bin crews in Bury. Many were drawn by children and attached to wheelie bins left outside homes on collection days as a touching thank you to the frontline workers. "You are my heroes," says one youngster on a handwritten note accompanied by a drawing of a rainbow and a love heart.

Another note including dozens of love hearts exclaims 'not all heroes wear capes...thank you'. Council bosses in Bury say the collection will form part of a summer exhibition being developed by Bury Art Museum to tell the story of Covid and lockdowns across the town.

The pictures and notes were all drawn and written by residents in Bury and left on wheelie bins during the first lockdown of 2020.
