Amberlie from Portsmouth has brought her grandad’s beautiful but broken Victorian stained glass window panel. For years, the pane adorned the wooden shed in his garden, where his beloved racing pigeons were housed. Amberlie and her sister spent many happy times helping their grandad in the pigeon loft with its fancy window. When her grandad died and the pigeons were rehomed, the panel was accidentally damaged and now needs some serious attention.”
