More than 1,100 of the angels have appeared in the south of the city in recent weeks, created and distributed by a team of 50 volunteers from Sandal Methodist Church.

Reverend Rob Cotton said: “We’re getting some great feedback from the angels, especially on social media. Children are loving them.

“We’ve had a couple of really quite moving responses.

“Someone said her mum recently gained her angel wings and we brought an angel in her memory.”
