A graffiti mural by street artist Rachel List pays tribute to the NHS on a wall in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
Rainbow Tears is just one of around 10 murals List has created in the town, including one to honour Tom Moore, who raised £2m for the NHS by completing 100 laps of his garden by his 100th birthday.
List told the BBC, “I think people just want to show their appreciation for the NHS, and hopefully I have, in some small way, allowed that message to travel.”
