Calling International Rescue...Calling International Rescue... SKB is FAB !. For International Thunderbirds Day 2024 Syston`s own knitting Banksy rendered International Rescue`s big green pod carrying giant Thunderbird 2 in yarn on a postbox topper. The FAB creation features the famous rescue vehicle in position standing by for action atop the postbox outside the post office in  Syston. Around the topper are featured vintage badges from the 80`s & 90`s, a reminder of childhood birthdays for many. After display the topper will be making a short flight to the Oasis Lounge in Leicester for a Thunderbirds Cult Classics Event on October 2nd 2024. 

The amazingly talented SKB or Syston Knitting Banksy brings us a postbox topper featuring the Leicester City Squad who where crowned champions of the Sky Bet Championship in 2024 after a 3-0 win away at Preston.  Each member of the squad has been rendered in knitted form and is seen wearing their #lçfc  king power kit around a sign reading "Champions". #StraightBackUp

The Syston Knitting Banksy (SKB) returns with another spectacular creation. The elusive Syston Knitting Banksy or SKB regularly creates knitted artworks related to current events and to mark special occasions. With King Charles III upcoming coronation the artist has depicted the new king on his throne with Crown, Orb and Sceptre atop a postbox in the village of Syston in Leicestershire. Full of accurate details the piece features recreations of the St Edward's Crown used in the Coronation service itself, the Golden cloak which represents the Robe Royal and featuring the national emblems of the UK. The chair is a wooly duplicate of the coronation chair commissioned by Edward 1st in 1296, it also features a gray area representing the "Stone Of Scone" used for centuries in the coronation of scottish monarchs.
