A knitted King Charles created by an Ipswich woman will be raffled off to celebrate the coronation.
The project has been created by Lesley Page and will be showcased at the Suffolk Food Hall in Wherstead, just outside the town.
Mrs Page, who is an office administrator at the venue, said she is "pleased" to finish her project, which took her about 50 hours to complete.
"I knitted the Queen for the Jubilee, and when we learned about the coronation, I had a look at patterns and found one I quite liked. I spoke to my colleagues, and they liked it too.
"I am pleased with how it turned out. It was fiddly at times, and I did wonder if I'd be able to finish it, but it’s ready to go to the raffle now."
The knitted King is 34 cm tall from the base up to his crown.
Mrs Page, 63, said that she spent many evenings and weekends working on the project and added that handcrafts are her big passion.
She said: "Sewing, embroidery and knitting are my main hobbies.
"I've been knitting since I was a young child. My mother taught us all how to knit and sew. I find it very relaxing after a long day of work.
"Most of my knitting is for children and babies, but I don’t mind making anything, really, if only I’ve got a pattern to follow."
The knitted King Charles will be raffled off on Monday, April 24, and will raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Nick Punter, of the Suffolk Food Hall, added: "The charity was chosen by our staff members.
"We are going to raffle at a £1 a ticket, all money raised will go to the charity. We will start this raffle on Monday and choose on the Monday after the coronation.
"We aren’t hosting a coronation party as such but have lots of decorations and some specialty food products, such as our coronation sausage roll.
"We’ll have specially designed wafers in the ice cream, and we’re selling limited edition coronation jute bags and even a coronation hamper."
