Neriyah Faith Spencer has spent the last two years putting up messages across the city to try and make people happier, with the messages hanging on lamp-posts and encouraging people to have a good day, feel better and be kind to each other.

That level of positivity has been showcased through the installation on the roundabout at the Scotlands Estate in Wolverhampton of a four-panel mural showing off some of her positive messages, including "Enjoy Your Day" and "You are strong enough".

The 11-year-old said she had been at her father Dan's office of his company Spencer & Co on Penn Road in Wolverhampton and said she had had an idea of creating something.
