Meet the carpenter who will take to the catwalk as a Miss England finalist this year.
Saoire Palmer spends her days on building sites as a locksmith and carpenter helping construct doors and wardrobes.
The 20-year-old got into woodwork by chance around six years ago after her Year 10 work experience.

Now she will throw down her tools for tiaras when she takes to the stage in a bid to be crowned Miss London.
The Essex lass wants to use her platform as a beauty queen to inspire women to take male-dominated jobs.
She said: "It's good to get out there as a woman in the trade to show people I can do the girly pageant stuff.
"It's a little bit daunting to catwalk, I've been practicing a lot. I'm used to wearing steel toe caps every day, not heels."
She added: "It's all quite random, I've never done anything to do with modelling.
"I've been in the building trade since I was 14, so this is all new to me. I want my own business.
"If I was to win, I would set up my own carpentry business. I just always clicked with it and have my heart set on it.
"It's good to inspire other women to do the same.
"It's a male-dominated environment, so it's nice to show that it doesn't matter."
The mum-of-one will compete against 20 other girls in the new makeup free Miss London event in September.

She's been watching YouTube videos and walking in front of her mirror to practice her all-important catwalk debut.
Saoire added: "There's two Miss England contests they're holding, the bare face Miss London and the FabUK.
"It's the finals in both. I haven't been in anything like this before, it's all new to me. I am excited.
"I've got a positive feeling, I'm feeling enthusiastic.
"The fact I'm in the finals I'm so proud. It would be unreal to represent the UK if I won Miss England.
"I've just been trying to watch YouTube videos and on TikTok for advice on how to catwalk."

The beauty concluded: "I've been walking in front of my mirror, I've got to do what I've got to do.
"I've been getting my friends to rate my walks.
"I feel like it's so good that people won't be wearing makeup.
"There's no filters, it's promoting the actual look and gives a lot of girls more confidence."
The beauty pageant will take place later this year in September.
