SHOPPERS in the city centre may stumble across a bizarre sight today.
The cream KC phone box on Paragon Street has been dressed up red for Red Nose Day in a giant woollen cosy.
Local group The Knitwits has been knitting the red cosy since before Christmas, even sneaking out under the cover of darkness, armed with measuring tapes and torches, to ensure it is a snug fit.
Liz Pacey, from The Knitwits, said: "I can't believe it is finally up. I was panicking it would be too big but it looks perfect."
Fifteen Knitwits got their knitting needles out to knit their bit of the cosy, with all the wool required donated by Yorkshire business A Woolly Tail.
Dressing up red is just one of the many ways people can do something funny for money this Red Nose Day, which is back on Friday March 15.
