An Ipswich Town super fan's taken it upon himself to re-create the iconic Portman Road stadium nearly 700 miles away from the original.
53-year-old Conrad Peck and his wife Debbie moved to the Western Isles of Scotland around a year ago.
Since then, he's spent the las year cultivating his Ipswich-themed room and says he has no plans to stop.
Conrad told us he has been a fan of the boys in blue for as long as he can remember and, when he lived more locally, would visit the stadium as much as he could, taking the bus bus with his brother and friends to make the journey from Bungay.
He says being at the stadium is one of his "favourite memories": "It's the feeling you get when you go home, somewhere back in your past.
"The atmosphere just makes your hair stand on end."
He explained that having all the memorabilia is like "going back to your childhood".

In a roomful of souvenirs, we asked him his favourite thing about the room, and Conrad told us he loves his shirts, but would really like a signed one.
He's also particularly fond of the wall art of the stadium and would like it to cover "all four sides of the wall.
Conrad's not the only member of the family who loves this room:
His beloved dog Bella has "taken over" and can be seen (above) supporting the team in their colours.
