A five-year-old girl has etched a message on the pavement as a friendly reminder to stay home.

Rutvi Kushal Joshi, from Rochester, was confused to see so many people walking outside her house and quizzed her parents as to why.

Mum Mahi said: "She asked me why they are out of their house when they have been told to stay home?"

To which she replied that most people were out either running for exercise or walking pets.

It was then the St Peter's Infant School pupil decided she'd draw a message for passing pedestrians who might be flouting the rules.

Armed with different coloured chalks she etched a rainbow and a "stay home" message on the kerb.

She hopes this will serve as a friendly reminder to stay indoors and only make essential journeys or for exercise.
