An homage to one of the Queen's estates has been recreated in wool by a dedicated 92-year-old knitter.

Margaret Seaman, from Great Yarmouth, spent two years crafting her version of Sandringham House and other buildings.

She said it was "impossible to tell" how much wool was in the piece but she worked on it "on average about 10 to 12 hours a day".

The finished item is 18ft (5.5m) by 6ft (1.8m) and features in the Norfolk Makers' Festival at The Forum, Norwich.

"After I lost my husband I joined a knitting group, and it all snowballed from there," Ms Seaman said.

"And then I just thought, if I can think of something to do that we can show to people, and raise money for a charity, it would be something worthwhile doing. That's how it all started."
