Most recent images block

That would be really useful, I would like 5 recent images (thumbs) to be displayed on the front page. Can anyone help in how this might be done?
Thanks

Here is something I wrote for a client a while back. I quickly updated it from 4.5 to 4.6, and found that it works.

Instructions:

- Save it to a file in your modules directory by the name last_image.module.
- Go to admin/modules and enable it
- Go to admin/settings/last_image to configure it.
- Go to Admin -> Access Control, and grant the permission to roles you want to see this block.
- Go to admin/block, and enable the block.

		      }
        $block['content'] = $content;
