POLICE officers have shared images of some of the rainbows they have seen this week.

Officers from the Wrexham Rural team took photos of some of the fantastic rainbows spotted while on patrol.

The trend of painted rainbows being placed in windows has been seen across the world and has become hugely popular in the UK after schools closed in response to the outbreak.

And to help spread cheer across communities, North Wales Police created a colouring sheet and is encouraging children to colour them in and place them in their windows.

The Leader:

Officers who are regular foot patrols in the town centre and surrounding communities will try to stop and say hello to any children inside houses displaying a rainbow.

Richard Debicki, deputy chief constable of North Wales Police, said: “This has been truly heart-warming during a time of uncertainty and worry.

“Our colouring sheet is aimed at spreading some happiness across our communities so we would encourage people to visit our website and print a copy.

“As a father of two young children myself, I know how difficult it can be to keep them entertained. Hopefully this will help lift people’s spirits, even if it’s just a smile. We also hope it will send a message to our NHS colleagues that we are thankful and grateful to them as they work hard to protect our communities."
