Fancy dress heroes raise a smile

Fancy dress and costume is being used to cheer up the nation as people across the world are remaining inside their homes as much as possible in order to limit the spread of Covid-19 (coronavirus).

Over the last few weeks there have been a number of calls for fancy dress and costume to be embraced for all sorts of unusual occasions, from group video calls and online meetings to virtual Saturday night drinks with friends.

However, a number of people have taken their dedication to cheering people up even further as they wear costumes out and about in the hope of raising a few smiles.

Perhaps the most well-known of these in the UK is Jon Motson, a postman who is wearing a different costume every day to spread some good cheer during the coronavirus pandemic as he makes each day a bit brighter for the families he sees on his route.

“Everyone is uncertain at the moment and you are often the only person outside of the family that they see, so why not give them something to smile about,” Jon reasoned.

Other costumes have been spotted in a variety of places, with a Scottish Spider-Man touring his local streets to raise money, an Ali G outfit being used as protective clothing and Rubie’s famous Jurassic World T-Rex inflatable making a number of appearances out and about.

There are also countless Instagram and Facebook posts featuring people with time on their hands dressing up to recreate famous film characters, paintings and anything else they can think of!
