TWO young brothers laid a snake trail of painted stones in Queen’s Park, Craig-y-Don as a tribute to the NHS and key workers.

The initiative some months ago caught the eye of visitors to the park and now a permanent monument is under construction featuring the stones. It is planned to be erected in the park’s central garden.

Jeff Wright, Chairman of The Friends of Queens Park Community Group, who has acted as the project coordinator, said: “The two lads: Seth and Theo Hastings of Craig-y-Don, Seth is aged five and his brother is four, took the initiative and we decided it was such a good idea and so appreciated by visitors to the park, we would have it made into a permanent memorial.

“The stones have been fixed to a heart shaped metal background, four and a half feet wide and four feet deep, which will be mounted permanently on a frame. We plan to have a formal unveiling in the near future.

“The snake trail consists of colourful hand painted stones. It a tribute to the NHS and key workers, also it acknowledges Seth and Theo’s enterprise and creativity.
