A staggering 40 per cent of the special-edition Punchline jigsaws have been sold in just five days.

Since the big reveal of the 500-piece puzzle last week, we have been inundated with requests from across the county as people look to get their hands on one of the limited number of jigsaws.

The puzzle features 247 faces of business and civic leaders from across Gloucestershire and was released alongside the latest edition of Punchline magazine: THE ANNUAL 2019.

And such has been the demand from those whose faces feature, that 40 per cent of the jigsaws have already been snapped up since the launch.

Mark Owen, editor of Punchline-Gloucester.com said: "There has been an unbelievable response to the release of our jigsaw.

"The Punchline team have been out and about delivering magazines across the county and they are being bombarded with questions about how and where to get hold of one.

"Each sale guarantees more money being donated to three wonderful charities and I would urge anyone who wants to guarantee themselves a copy to get in touch now, before they're all gone."

The jigsaw, that costs just £20, is raising money for three Gloucestershire charities: Sue Ryder, Nelson Trust and Pied Piper Appeal.
