'Feed my babies' - late wife's request to care for pigeons
On a hot mid-June afternoon, a passel of pigeons tracks a red mobility scooter through a city centre square to a set of steps, where the birds patiently wait to be fed.
They are well-rehearsed in this journey through Gloucester's Kings Square because the driver of the scooter, Tony Triffitt, 80, has been making it for half a century.
Mr Triffitt enjoys feeding the birds grain and had always been joined by his late wife Christine.
She loved the birds so much that she described them as "her babies" and before she died in 2011, she told her husband not to forget to keep feeding them.
