Burgess Hill mother and son create rainbow out of toy cars

Built in their Burgess Hill garden it also features a silver lined heart and white lettering spelling out NHS.

The family decided to clear out old toys and games during lockdown and Faris’s absolute love of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars was soon clear to see as box after box revealed more and more miniature cars, monster trucks, buses and jeeps.

The Rose family are thrilled with their rainbow; “It’s our way of recognising the incredible dedication of our amazing NHS, to whom we are so thankful and proud of. We loved creating this rainbow over Easter weekend, the whole family got involved. We knew Faris had collected a lot of cars over the years but we thought it was a few hundred not over a thousand, and this isn’t all of them!

“We loved spending hours together in the sunshine, being creative whilst showing our heartfelt appreciation and love for our NHS.”
