An Edinburgh taxi company has made a delivery of hundreds of Easter eggs to youngsters at Sick Kids over the weekend.

City Cabs had a busy Easter Sunday, swapping passengers for 200 chocolate eggs destined for the Royal Sick Children's Hospital.

Taking on the role of the Easter bunny, the taxi drivers made sure the youngsters still got their chocolate fix with the huge haul of eggs.

In a statement, the company said: City Cabs working with the Easter Bunny!

"Today, we were honoured to deliver over 200 Easter Eggs to Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for Sick Children! Although our city may be closed, our hearts are still open.

"Happy Easter to all and however you're spending your day - stay safe!"

Amid the lockdown, the Sick Kids have seen a heartwarming selection of donations from different charities and organisations across the city to keep patients and their families smiling.

Visiting is currently very limited as part of measures to fight the spread of coronavirus, with charities such as the ECHC and Radio Lollipop who would usually visit the wards now unable to.
