Carol Tuson put the finishing touches on the display in Parliament Street, Ramsey. They have used recycled items – including a wide range of bras and frilly knickers – as the centrepiece of the display on the site of the former Cusha building, in Parliament Street.

It coincides with the Royal Horticultural Society’s event, featuring donated bras, boxer shorts and jockey pants, at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show this week.
