It takes a village – of gnomes.
Nikki Potter, 55, has created an elaborate tribute for King Charles’ coronation this weekend, putting 150 gnomes on display in her own front garden for the public to see, according to South West News Service.
The London woman wanted to do something special to mark the historic event, so she took out her collection of figurines that she’s been building since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and gave them a royal twist.
In her intricate display, she featured a king and queen – presumably King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla – complete with bejeweled crows on their heads and a sign above them that read, “Three cheers for the King.”
Surrounded by the royal family was a big celebration scene with the other gnomes, complete with tiny British flags and small tables filled with fake food.
She even included a figurine of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the royal guards, who were standing on the steps below Charles and Camilla.
“I’ve collected them for quite a long time now – I just like their faces, they make me smile,” Potter told SWNS.
“Its just been a lovely thing. One lady said she came every day to see the gnomes and that it makes her mind cheerful for the day.
