A giant Christmas jumper has been created for a Tyrannosaurus Rex at London's Natural History Museum.

The animatronic T. rex is sporting the festive knit, which has been made by a family-run firm in Leicester. British Christmas Jumpers has previously produced sweaters for Ed Sheeran and the Houses of Parliament.

Carla Treasure, from the attraction, said they wanted to do something fun to encourage people back after a tough year. "I think he looks absolutely fabulous," she said.
