The Bairns Bombers yarnbombed the town centre at the end of last week in a bid to brighten the place up.

The knitted bollard covers, flowers, snakes and bunting certainly adds a splash of colour to the High Street area.

Falkirk Herald photographer Michael Gillen has captured just some of the creativity on display, but it’s definitely worth a visit to see in person.

The yarnbombing will be in place until Sunday, September 18.

Lottie and Ivy-Rose helped the Bairns Bombers put out the yarnbombing at the end of last week.
