A plasterer came up with a novel way of hugging his grandmother while adhering to social distancing measures - by adding plastic sleeves to a shower curtain to create a 'Cuddle Curtain'.
Heartwarming footage shows Antony Cauvin, 29, from Stratford-upon-Avon, standing in his elderly relatives' garden after making a surprise visit last Friday.
Mr Cauvin, who wanted to give his gran a hug after two-and-a-half months they'd spent apart during the coronavirus lockdown, then beckons her over to his contraption.
He made it by taking a see-through shower curtain and fitting it with long safety sleeves on each side - allowing two people to stand either side without skin-to-skin or breathing contact.
