5-year-old girl told to get rid of NHS rainbow outside her home

A five-year-old girl was told to get rid of a rainbow tribute she had chalked in a tribute to NHS workers.

Sophie Gray’s mum Sam created the colourful tribute on a wall at their home in Holbeach, Lincolnshire at the beginning of April.

But the 43-year-old mum claims she was incredulous when her estate agent contacted her to say the landlord wanted her to remove the rainbow after receiving a complaint from a neighbour.

Sam said the estate agent was sympathetic but she had to make the request on behalf of the property owner.
