Residents and people all across the county came together to show support for the NHS as part of national initiative called #ClapForOurCarers on Thursday March 26.

Wayne Cowley specially painted his car, and MG, with bright rainbow colours to honour the 'Healthcare Key and Volunteer Workers,' including fire, farmers, police and the NHS.

Wayne's wife, Laura Cowley, said: "My husband started to paint the car at the beginning of the week to let all key workers see how grateful we are for all they are doing then we heard about the appreciation day and tied it all in together.

"We just wanted to show our thanks. We just wanted to thank all the people that are still working so hard including the farmers that are supplying and delivering food to local villages."

The specially painted car caught the attention of officers with the Thames Valley Police - Cherwell District.

The TVP officers thought so much of what they saw they took a photo of the car with the Cowley children, Ti, Theo and Chiana, posing in front of it.

Officer with the TVP took to social media to share the picture, and even made a fun promise to the Cowley family that the children would especially enjoy.

Thames Valley Police Cherwell posted said: "Absolutely amazing effort from this Banbury family! It’s times like this that community spirit shines through.

"We’ve promised these little ones that when things settle down we’ll bring one of our (police cars) round for them to have a go in."
