Having a laugh

Staying 2m apart

Mr Atkinson bought the fancy dress outfits for Finley's last birthday and the youngster decided to put them to good use by wearing them to add a bit of extra fun to their daily exercise during the coronavirus restrictions.

On Sunday, the duo inspired many of their neighbours to step outside their front doors for a dino dance- all whilst keeping a safe distance from one another.

Some even wore their own fancy dress outfits and put costumes on their dogs.

Finley, who goes to Sherburn Primary School, is being home schooled during the lockdown by mum Anita, who is a college lecturer.

Mr Atkinson, a self-employed electrician, is still able too work as he is a key worker.
