Walthamstow resident Mary Haggerty is displaying her own Olympic Park, made entirely of knitted sports stars.

The owner of the garden, Mary Haggerty, said the mini park, knitted by her daughter, had attracted hundreds of visitors, even a Korean television crew.

"Some people walk straight into my front garden and have pictures taken beside my daughter's creations," Mrs Haggerty told the BBC.

There is even a knitted Usain Bolt figure doing his trademark, To Di World, pose.

The mini woollen park is just ten minutes from the real Olympic Park.

Mrs Haggerty said two figures had been stolen but after leaving a notice which said the theft had upset the children the figures were returned. "It restores your faith in humanity," she added.

Passers-by Sophie and Eleanor Jennings emailed the BBC about the park saying it deserved another gold for Team GB.
