An independent jewellers in Norwich's Royal Arcade has put up large rainbow angel wings to attract more shoppers.
Sonkai is showing its support for Norwich Pride this year - by covering up some of the arcade's vacant units with large pictures of wings.
The hope is more people will come into the arcade, which still has around half of its units empty including the former Jamie's Italian.

However, owners of independent businesses in the arcade are doing their bit to make the empty shops look more attractive.
Work by artists as well as displays from vintage clothing boutique Lady B Loves have filled some of the windows along with faux flowers adorning the entrance.

Sara Sweet, co-owner of Sonkai, said: "The competition should hopefully drive some much-needed traffic into the lovely arcade. We've already had some great entries but would love the opportunity to share the joy further.
