A man has been praised for creating a colour coding system - so people self-isolating who need supplies can let others know from the safety of their own window.

Retired pharmacist Stuart Newsome, 64, asked residents on his street to display either a green or red card in their window, depending on whether they needed help.

Stuart and his wife Jane, 63, told their neighbours they would bring shopping, collect medication, or help with transport if individuals were stuck inside.

Stuart walks down his road in Ripon, North Yorkshire, UK every day to identify if any of the houses are displaying a red card.
